Additional biographical information
I’m an elementary teacher and tutor based in Southwest Michigan, dedicated to helping teachers simplify their workload and thrive in the classroom. I create high-quality, easy-to-use resources designed to support both educators and students—making learning more effective and manageable.
I’ve been teaching since 2010 and hold a Master’s in Reading with a reading specialist endorsement. My experience spans kindergarten, first, third, and fifth grade, with a strong focus on first and third. I specialize in working with students with high behavioral and academic needs and spent five years teaching in a STEM school.
Currently, I support students through small group and 1:1 online tutoring, helping them fill learning gaps and build confidence. I also mentor pre-intern and intern teachers during their student teaching semesters, guiding them in developing effective, stress-free teaching strategies.
