Priya Curtis joined the local Waldorf community as a student in CWS co-founder Sharifa Oppenheimer’s kindergarten class. She went on to graduate from Tandem Friends School, and earn a BA (Sociology) and MA (Bioethics) from the University of Virginia, before becoming a mother herself and training as a professional birth doula.

Both of Priya’s children attended the early childhood programs at CWS, with the younger child staying through 8th grade and graduating in 2023.

Outside of the Board of Trustees and raising her last teenager, Priya works in ethics enforcement for a global finance education organization, volunteers with her local botanical garden, and enjoys writing, community service, and spending time outdoors.
