About the store
I’m a multi-credentialed teacher with over a decade of experience teaching across California in a wide range of grade levels and settings. I hold a Multiple Subject Credential, a Single Subject Credential in Social Science, and a Math Authorization, and I’ve taught everything from early childhood (ages 6 months–3 years) and elementary to middle and high school. Elementary has my heart, though- especially 2nd grade! I’ve also spent time subbing in nearly every grade, which has given me a strong understanding of what students need at different stages.
Most of what I've made, I made for my own students and shared here as well.
Now as a stay-at-home parent (and Pilates teacher), I create resources inspired by both my classroom experience and what I’m using with my own child—practical, engaging materials that are designed to actually work for real teachers and real students.

Experience
I’m a multi-credentialed teacher with over a decade of experience teaching across California in a wide range of grade levels and settings. I hold a Multiple Subject Credential, a Single Subject Credential in Social Science, and a Math Authorization, and I’ve taught everything from early childhood (ages 6 months–3 years) and elementary to middle and high school. Elementary has my heart, though- especially 2nd grade! I’ve also spent time subbing in nearly every grade, which has given me a strong understanding of what students need at different stages.
Most of what I've made, I made for my own students and shared here as well.
Now as a stay-at-home parent (and Pilates teacher), I create resources inspired by both my classroom experience and what I’m using with my own child—practical, engaging materials that are designed to actually work for real teachers and real students.
Teaching style
I am all about a growth mindset!
I believe in multiple intelligences and providing opportunities for kiddos with less traditional learning styles to shine. There's more than one way to show what you know!
My TpT mission is to help you help your students achieve mastery as I help mine.
My own education history
-Multiple Subject Credential
-Single Subject Social Science Credential
-Single Subject Math Authorization.
-Early Childhood Development Certifications
I've had the chance to put all of those to use in my teaching career!
Additional biographical information
In addition to teaching, I love to travel! I've been to over 26 different countries and would love to visit more! I love being outside and hiking with my hubs, our pup, June Bug, and my daughter. Now that I'm home with her, I'm creating content I'm using to enrich her and will be sharing many of those resources here as we go!
