My mission is to empower teachers and parents to nurture confident, curious, and capable learners through meaningful, inclusive instruction.
Teaching style
I’ve always believed that creativity belongs in the classroom—and at the kitchen table. I’m Christine, a teacher turned creator with over seven years of experience working with learners of all ages, from curious infants and preschoolers all the way up to high school and adult students. My work is inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, design thinking, and years of supporting neurodivergent students through structured, multisensory instruction.
When I’m not designing lessons, I’m usually painting or knitting with my sidekick Gambit (my Corgi, named after the X-Men). My kids—also named after superheroes—remind me daily that learning should be full of heart, humor, and imagination. I love reading, singing off-key, and creating something new from scratch—whether it’s dinner, a painting, or a resource to make teaching a little easier.
