With over a decade of teaching experience, I bring passion, energy, and real classroom insight to everything I create. I began my career in elementary school, where I taught for three years before running a dynamic after-school program that supported students beyond the classroom. For the past eight years, I’ve been dedicated to teaching science to middle schoolers—an age full of curiosity, growth, and big ideas. I’m constantly learning, evolving, and refining my craft, and honestly, I learn something new every day from my students. Teaching isn’t just my profession—it’s my passion.

Early in my career, a mentor shared something that transformed my teaching: teachers shouldn’t be the ones doing most of the work—students should. That idea stayed with me. Over the years, I’ve intentionally designed lessons and activities that shift the thinking, problem-solving, and creating onto students. When students do the heavy lifting, real learning happens. My products reflect that philosophy. They are designed to lighten the teacher’s workload while increasing student engagement, ownership, and fun. The goal is simple: less teacher burnout, more student thinking, and a classroom where learning is active, meaningful, and exciting.

Even though I have not received school or district awards as a teacher, I consider my greatest achievement to be earning my students’ love, trust, and enthusiasm for learning. Science naturally creates opportunities for fun and meaningful moments because students thrive on hands-on learning. My students complete at least one lab each week, and we always conclude a unit with a project that allows them to apply what they have learned creatively. The most rewarding moments in teaching come from seeing the final results—the projects students produce and the passion they bring into the classroom. Those moments reassure me that I have truly done my job as a teacher.

I earned my bachelor’s degree in Industrial Science and Computer Science, where I developed a strong foundation in problem-solving, technology, and analytical thinking. After having my own children, I was inspired to pursue my long-standing passion for teaching. This led me to earn both Multiple Subject and Single Subject teaching credentials, allowing me to combine my technical background with a commitment to education and student learning.
