About the store
I am passionate about helping ALL students be successful. I create resources and games to help teachers make that happen. I have had the pleasure of teaching in the school setting for over 17 years. I was a cross-categorical special education teacher for 8 years, working with kindergarten through 4th grade students and a 1st-grade teacher for two years. I currently work part-time as a reading specialist, coaching teachers and interventionist with kindergarten through 8th-grade students and I'm a professional tutor.
I am a curriculum writer at heart. I have been making materials that align with the common core for myself and my teams to enhance student learning for years. I believe in the importance of best practice and research-based methodology.
