Meet the Business Owner

Sarah Lu B.

Business Owner

In the past 16 years, I have been a teacher, co-​learner, director, and artist in many different educational settings. Before opening Tulip Tree in 2010, I worked in private and public schools in Portland, the Bay Area, and Salt Lake City. I am a life-​long learner, and continuing education is very important to me. In the 2011 – 2012 school year, I was pleased to complete the Mentorship Program at the Opal School. In the summer of 2012, I attended my first NAREA conference, and in the next five years I plan to visit Reggio Emilia, Italy. I continue to learn about best practices of teaching through attending conferences, workshops, and educational offerings on a regular basis.

I have an MFA and a BFA in performing arts. My background in fine arts profoundly impacts the work that I do as an educator. Exposure to the arts throughout a child’s educational journey is paramount to leading a life full of creativity, and to developing an understanding of difference.
