Amber Engel
Amber began at Nature’s Way
Montessori School in January
2008 . In college, she chose to
combine her love of ancient
history and scuba diving by
studying underwater archaeology.
Despite enjoying an interesting
career, she found her part-time work in education to be far more satisfying and sought a new professional path. She came across an ad for a Toddler Community Assistant at Nature’s Way and eagerly applied for the position. As a former Montessori student herself, Amber quickly discovered that she had found the right fit. In 2009, she moved into the Early Childhood Community and spent the following summer at the Houston Montessori Center. After a year’s internship, she received her credential. She became a lead guide in 2012 and transitioned into the Assistant Director role in 2018. Amber can no longer imagine doing anything except working in a school and is grateful for the privilege to work in such an enriching environment. In her free time, Amber enjoys going on a variety of adventures with her husband and two young children! Contact Amber at admin@SoutheastMontessoriCollective.org
