Monty has been working at Terra Nova Nature School since summer 2021, wearing many hats as a Garden Manager, teaching in both preschool and school aged programs and running a Green Team in the garden. Monty holds a Bachelor of Arts from UBC, majoring in Anthropology. She has worked as a Farm Intern at many local farms as well as an educator in a farm school in Tuscon, Arizona. Monty is passionate about teaching children through direct experiences with nature, often bringing her own love of art into her curriculum. Monty lives in Vancouver with her husband and two kittens, chasing after them when they steal her balls of wool.

If Monty were a plant at Terra Nova, she would be a tall sunflower in the garden, head always facing the sun attracting many worker bees to support her fellow garden plants.
