Experience

I've been a certified elementary school teacher since 2013. I especially enjoy seeing my kids every morning excited to learn and want to be able to always give them a fun learning experience for every minute of the day. Creating fun and engaging resources helps to enforce the concepts I teach and I am glad I get to share them with other teachers around the world!

Teaching style

I believe in teaching the whole child (and not half the child, tee hee hee) and creating fun activities and lessons to reach all methods of learning. My goal is to make learning engaging and fun for every child.

My own education history

I received my bachelor degree of arts in Elementary Education from the University of Nebraska and my California teaching credential.

Additional biographical information

Outside of teaching and creating curriculum, I enjoy spending time with my husband outdoors. We love to climb mountains, run and cycle in races, and explore.
