Bringing the Light
Known to most as Maati, she is a licensed social worker, equity practitioner, spirit-led credentialed Montessori leader (Early Childhood, Lower El, Upper El, Administrator), and the former Director of Equity and Engagement for the American Montessori Society.
Maati offers a distinct approach to lifelong learning, that creates avenues for the coexistence of science, spirit & social justice in progressive student-centerd education. Her leadership focuses on integrating models of community care to strengthen schools, elevate teaching and learning, and support the overall well-being and transformation of the adult.
For over 15 years, Maati has served Montessori, Public & Independent school communities by creating innovative spaces for learning organizations and individuals to expand, build, and create more justice in the world. She firmly believes in divine intelligence and understands that we all sit at the very center of that space!
Willed Radiance is the driving force behind her approach to educational leadership, coaching and school community-building. Her unique eye integrates social work competencies around equity, mental health and community models of care with justice-oriented pedagogy and best practice in adult learning. Maati is innately curious about the most profound spiritual connection and how it manifests uniquely for each individual through their practice and devotion to the field of education.
I'd love to hear from you!
