Margarita Slavina
Margarita Slavina (she/her)
Upper School Math Teacher
Born in Russia, Margarita earned her Masters in Math from Moscow State University and a second Masters in International Economics and Finance from Brandeis University. After working on the trading floor of a major commercial bank for 13 years, as one of few women in the industry, Margarita followed her teaching passion and studied Waldorf education at Rudolf Steiner College.
She has taught at the Sacramento Waldorf School, the Chicago Waldorf School, and been part of a performing eurythmy ensemble. At Gathering Waters, Margarita founded the upper school math club and serves on the Board of Trustees.
Spare time will find Margarita swimming, ice skating, playing the piano, reading Russian literature, and foraging for wild food and medicinal herbs. She lives in Keene with her artist-illustrator husband, their two daughters, and a parakeet named Eve—and she very much enjoys her walking commute!
