About the store

Experience

I’ve spent the past several years teaching middle and high school science. My classroom emphasizes inquiry-based learning, student-led exploration, and real-world relevance. I create resources that support phenomenon-based instruction, helping students connect what they’re learning to the world around them while making things practical and manageable for busy teachers.

Teaching style

My approach is student-centered and grounded in curiosity. I use inquiry to drive lessons, encouraging students to ask questions and investigate meaningful phenomena. I believe that real engagement starts with a good question, and my resources are designed to help teachers deliver that kind of experience with clarity and flexibility.

Awards & shining teacher moments

Some of the best moments in my career have come from watching students who once struggled light up with understanding. Whether it’s a tough biology topic finally clicking or a student designing their own experiment, I love seeing that spark when students realize they’re capable of real scientific thinking.

My own education history

I have a strong foundation in science and education, as well as experience in IT. Most recently, I completed a coding bootcamp to stretch my skills even further. I believe teachers should keep learning too, and I bring that mindset into my classroom and my work.

Additional biographical information

I’m a mom, a science nerd, and a fan of all things curiosity-driven. I love exploring connections between science, wellness, and education. Everything I create is built to support teachers who want high-quality, inquiry-based resources without spending hours reinventing the wheel.
