Mrs. Oana, originally from Romania, spent 21 years living in Japan before relocating to the United States in 2021. During her time in Japan, she worked as a foreign language teacher in various schools, including Japanese Montessori institutions. Her passion for foreign languages, children, and Montessori education inspired her to join Montessori Children’s School.

Mrs. Oana holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Human Resource Management from the American Public University System. As a military spouse, she is excited to call Jacksonville her home for the next three years.

Outside of work, Mrs. Oana enjoys spending time outdoors with her family. In her downtime, she loves reading, crocheting, knitting, and fishing. She has a special fondness for both cats and dogs.

Mrs. Oana is eager to share her knowledge of Japan and teach Japanese to her students.
