She always enjoys hearing how her students’ experiences at LOLMS, along with their nurtured confidence and curiosity, have propelled them in so many exciting directions. When Denise is away from school, she likes to explore more natural beauty on Long Island, alone or with her family. She also delights in training rising Montessori teachers.
