Student Support Team
Tristen is a member of the Student Support team at Otto Specht School. Before coming to Otto Specht, Tristen worked at the Fellowship, where she was engaged in eldercare, along with previous experience in childcare, camp counseling, and farm work. These roles helped shape her hands-on, nurturing approach to education. At Otto Specht, Tristen supports students in grades Kâ3, with a focus on early childhood, handwork, and crafts. She attended the Waldorf Early Childhood Association Conference this year as part of her continued professional growth. Outside of school, Tristen enjoys crafting, handwork, and cooking Filipino food.
