Alena Lin

Alena was born in the States and grew up in Taiwan. Her journey in education began in 2014, leading her to earn a BS in Child and Family Studies from Fu Jen Catholic University in 2017, along with a Taiwanese teaching certification. Her interest in the Montessori method brought her back to the States, where she pursued a Master’s in Early Childhood Education. She graduated in 2023 from Chestnut Hill College and became an AMS certified Montessori teacher.

Alena has experience teaching in both countries and has worked in both Chinese and English-speaking Montessori schools. Her teaching adventures in various cultural settings have helped her create learning environments where children from diverse backgrounds feel safe and happy to thrive. Prior to joining Clementine, Alena worked as a co-lead Montessori teacher at a Chinese immersion school and as an assistant at another Montessori school in the area. She is thrilled to work with the Ginkgo children and families!

Alena loves art and yoga. She enjoys making and exploring food from different cultures and can often be spotted in the city hunting for new restaurants to try!
