Bio
Ann Pasquinelly is the 8th Grade Class Teacher at Rudolf Steiner School of Ann Arbor. Her teaching path began in the Peace Corps as a Community Health Volunteer, and since then, she has taught in public, private, and outdoor education settings. Prior to joining RSSAA in the summer of 2025, Ann served as a class teacher at the Waldorf School of Tampa Bay and at Kimberton Waldorf School, where she led a class from Grade 2 through Grade 4.

Ann is passionate about Waldorf education’s ability to meet each child with reverence, curiosity, and compassion. She believes deeply in guiding students through both their inner and outer development. Outside the classroom, Ann enjoys hiking, paddling, reading historical biographies, and crafting soups from scratch. She has a special fondness for hands-on, creative learning—especially when it involves outdoor education or paper mâché.
