Tiffany finds her home in nature and the arts and takes to heart the building of compassionate learning communities.  Inspired by the birth of her own child, reading the book Last Child in the Woods and encountering Erin Kenny's forest school, Tiffany embarked on a path to create Ancient Futures, and was happily joined by her co-conspirator and lifelong partner of 14+ years, Teacher Chris, in the process. 

Tiffany has been an educator in various capacities for the past 18 years.  She has served as a social justice poetry coach in a farm/ forest setting.  She's hosted community literacy events and tended nature and children's book resources at the Elliot Bay Book Company in Seattle. She earned a Masters in Teaching from The Evergreen State College and taught in Olympia as a public Montessori school teacher for 7 years.  Recently she has continued her studies by learning from Jon Young's Kamana Naturalist Teaching series, completing school director training through Forest School Teacher Institute and by very proudly earning a forest school teaching certification in The Cedarsong Way.  She is also an alumna of the Enterprise for Equity program in Olympia which focuses on centering local business on people and the planet.

Tiffany volunteers with Olympia's Learning Right Relations, a local group that is building connections with Native peoples both near and far. Most of all, Tiffany cares deeply about our earth and delights in witnessing each child find their grounding, confidence and love of life.
