Aline brings 12 years of teaching experience to the Oak class and is excited to be a part of the Trailblazers community. They look forward to co-creating a middle school program that sparks curiosity, creativity, and collaboration.

Aline believes in genuinely respecting children as individuals with their own minds, desires, and needs. They are passionate about listening to and learning from students, and about seeing children as the “right now,” not just the future. They value outside-the-box thinking, earth-friendly practices, and exploring different educational philosophies to find the best ways to support each student’s growth.

Outside the classroom, Aline enjoys crafting with fabric and yarn, playing video games and word games, and exploring history. When time allows, they can bake a truly impressive focaccia bread.
