After High School, she went to school at Provo college for Massage Therapy and Bodywork and also received her certification in Inner Sound Tuning Fork sound healing. She then traveled all over our beautiful country fascinated by our diverse cultures.  In 2012 she was invited to be a part of the beautiful healing community in the Sacred Valley of Peru, Nuna Ayni, where she was introduced to Waldorf Education. She is honored to be the mother of  2 wonderful boys.  

Elizabeth attended a 4-year long teacher training program at The Center For Educational Renewal in California while homeschooling her children and received her Waldorf Teaching Credentials.  She worked at both private and charter Waldorf schools in Sonoma County California for 6 years.

After 20 years, her path has led her back home to Utah. She is so happy to be back with the mountains, to be near her best friend again, and to have her boys around their very, very large family.  

She truly feels the stars aligned when she was invited to join the Mountain Sunrise Academy family and is looking forward to serving and getting to know the community!

Stephanie grew up in Dallas, TX for the first 35 years of her life. While growing up she was homeschooled with Waldorf principles. She spent many years enjoying museums and musical performances at the variety of venues available to her. When she was in 4th grade she attended a field trip to the Meyerson Symphony Hall designed by I.M. Pei. That building was the first of many to inspire her pursuit in Architecture at the University of Texas - Arlington. She graduated in 2008 and has grown from working alongside architects to sharing her design talents on a smaller scale on her own. 

For the past 3 years, Stephanie and her family have lived in Eagle Mountain. She has been married for 15 years and has 4 children ranging from 6 to 13. 

Stephanie’s love of creating doesn't stop with architecture; she has spent the last 20 years developing her love of fiber arts, all the colors and all the textures have drawn her to quilting, wardrobe sewing, knitting, and embroidery.  She enjoys attending musical events, mountain biking, gardening and building things. She is looking forward to being part of the MSA Handwork program.

She loves dancing, singing, playing the violin, gardening and being with her spouse and four daughters.   She is super excited to be a part of the Waldorf environment because it aligns with her personal passions for continual growth and balance in all areas of development.  Being part of team and school that honors experiential learning, and the innate value of the whole child is a dream come true. 

Kami has been in the nursing field for nearly 2 decades.  She received her RN and BSN degrees through Weber State University.

She loves being a part of Forest Fridays, and is happy to be helping in the Peace Cottage, lovingly supporting children as they learn to find balance and face life’s challenges.

Debbie is never sure how to answer the question,  "Where are you from?" as she was delighted to be a military dependent moving every few years. But, she's lived in Utah longer than anywhere else now, so it is home.  She came to Utah for an education at Brigham Young University earning a BS in Zoology in preparation for medical school.  That next step was put on an indefinite hold and she discovered teaching in the meantime including earning a second degree in early childhood from Utah Valley University.
