Mrs. Messler
Lower School Director
My educational/professional background:
Before joining the administrative team in 2025, I was a teacher for 15 years, including at Clairbourn since 2019, and began my career as a Teach For America corps member. I have a Bachelor of Arts in psychology and business from USC and a Master of Education with a focus in educational policy and administration from LMU, where I completed my thesis focused on early childhood education. I also hold a Clear Multiple Subjects Credential (K–8), a Clear Single Subject Mathematics Credential (6–12), an Early Childhood Administration Certificate, and a Child Development Program Director Permit.
I choose to work at Clairbourn because:
I chose Clairbourn for the strong community that feels like a family. The academic program is solid and is balanced with a focus on character and emotional growth, making it a rewarding place to work.
My favorite Clairbourn tradition is:
The Spring Carnival is such a fun way to see the community come together. I love seeing the joy on the students' faces and the pride they feel for their school.
What brings me joy is:
The Clairbourn students bring me joy! I love getting to know them outside of the classroom and feel lucky to be around such an inspiring group of young people. When I'm not at school, I enjoy spending time at home or going on adventures with my husband and son.
