Aline is excited to be teaching the Oak class at Trailblazers and brings 12 years of experience in education to the community. They are passionate about creating a middle school experience that sparks curiosity, creativity, collaboration, and a love of learning.

Throughout their career, Aline has focused on building respectful, student-centered learning environments where children are seen as capable individuals with their own ideas, perspectives, and needs. They believe in truly listening to students and honoring who they are in the present moment, not just preparing them for the future. Their approach emphasizes relationship-building, curiosity, and supporting each learner’s unique path of growth.

In the classroom, Aline encourages outside-the-box thinking, meaningful exploration, and a strong connection to the world around us. They value earth-friendly practices and exploring different educational approaches to create learning experiences that are engaging, inclusive, and responsive to students.

Outside of the classroom, Aline enjoys crafting with fabric and yarn, playing video games and word games, exploring history, and baking a truly impressive focaccia bread.
