As the founder of The Clutter-Free Classroom Blog, I love sharing my expertise in instruction, classroom organization, and management. I recently left the school setting to further pursue my passion for creating curriculum resources and use my knowledge and expertise to coach elementary teachers on a global level.

My husband and I are currently homeschooling our son and twin daughters. Our family divides our time between Boston, Massachusetts and the Sarasota, Florida area.
Teaching style
I always thought the greatest compliment was when a substitute teacher would leave me a note reading, "The room runs itself." To me that meant the classroom was well-organized and I had instilled such consistent procedures and routines that the students knew exactly what to do at all times of the day.
I truly feel students should be given choices in how and what they learn. I strive to help make busy teachers' lives easier so they have more time to dedicate to making learning fun and making each of their students feel special.
