Our Staff
We believe that all people are curious by nature, that the most efficient, long-lasting, and profound learning takes place when started and pursued by the learner, and that all people are creative if they are allowed to develop their unique talents.
Michelle Beasley-Hunt – is mom to Emma (4) and stepmom to Connor (11). Michelle’s work has always been in the arts. Her experiences include 10 years of work in film production as well as work creating 2-D and 3-D computer animation. She later combined her love of the arts and the joy she found in teaching to become a certified k-12 art teacher. Once Michelle learned of the Sudbury model there was no turning back! Michelle is excited to be a staff member at Sunset Sudbury School. She is also delighted that when her daughter is old enough to enroll at the school, she will be free to learn what she wants and how she wants in a supportive community of her peers.
Dionne Ekendiz – is mom to Leila (5) and Luna (2). Dionne has over 12 years of experience in the engineering and computer science fields working for companies such as Ford, Boeing, and Microsoft. When she got pregnant with her first child, she decided to finally pursue her passion for education, so she returned to school to get a Master’s degree in Education. Watching her daughter grow and learn on her own made her question what she had been taught in the traditional education model. When she learned about the Sudbury model everything about it immediately clicked and she knew she would have to create this school in South Florida. She can’t imagine her daughters attending any other school.
