Roni has a Bachelor’s degree from Humboldt State University. She originally studied in the pre-veterinary program at UC Davis but completed her degree at Humboldt State University after discovering her passion for teaching. She has been an educator for 25 years, working with students of all ages—from preschool through high school, as well as adults.
In 2003, Roni moved to Barcelona, Spain, to immerse herself in a Spanish-speaking culture and prepare for a bilingual teaching credential program. Over the span of 20 years, she lived, worked, and formed a family in Barcelona. She is fluent in Spanish, English, and Hebrew (her maternal language), and has a high level of comprehension in Catalan.
In Barcelona, Roni worked as an English teacher, high school language assistant, and English program coordinator. In 2019, she began working at a Montessori school with preschool-aged children, an experience that inspired her in new and wonderful ways. She is a certified Montessori co-guide from Montessori Canela in Barcelona and has undergone training in Positive Discipline, Nonviolent Communication, Mindfulness, and Music, and Laughter Therapy to enhance her teaching style.
Roni moved to Salt Lake City in 2024 and has since been a part of Elizabeth Academy. She is currently training to be a Montessori Guide through Rings of Knowledge.
Roni is energetic and passionate about working with children. Outside of work, she is a mother to three wonderful girls of mixed race. Her family background and current family reflect true diversity. Tolerance, communication, love, and understanding are very important to her.
She enjoys visiting museums, discovering nature, hiking, camping, swimming, gardening, and participating in water-related activities.
