Experience

I love teaching middle grades! I earned my B.A. in Journalism from UNC-Chapel Hill and my M.A. in Education from N.C. State. I also hold a valid teaching license in NC and NY. My TpT Shop, Common Core Tweens, launched in 2019. I created it to provide teachers with fun and interesting ways to prep older students for EOG exams all year long.

Teaching style

I believe that learning should be meaningful and engaging for all students. The more hands-on activities the better! "Education has a two-fold function to perform: the one is utility and the other is culture. Education must enable a man to achieve with increasing facility the legitimate goals of his life.” - MLK Jr.
