About the store
As a seasoned educator with over two decades of experience, I've worn many hats in the field of education. From my beginnings as a classroom teacher to my roles as an instructional coach and Teaching and Learning Facilitator, I've consistently strived to create, inspire, and learn. My journey has primarily focused on nurturing young minds in grades K-3, evolving into my current position as a Teaching and Learning Facilitator and curriculum writer for our ELA district curriculum. Throughout my career, I've honed my expertise through diverse professional development opportunities. Serving as a studio teacher for the Mathematics Teacher Development Group and becoming a writing teacher consultant with the Oregon Writing Project have enriched my skills. I have also earned a micro-credential in the Science of Reading through Drexel University. My dedication to excellence extends beyond formal training. I am deeply invested in researching best practices, staying abreast of educational trends, and crafting engaging lessons. Sharing successful strategies and ideas with fellow educators brings me immense joy. For me, teaching isn't just a profession; it's a passion. I firmly believe that when you love what you do, it never feels like work.

Teaching style

As an educator, my overarching aim is to cultivate an inclusive and supportive classroom environment where students flourish not only academically but also emotionally and socially. I firmly believe in the power of mindfulness and purposefulness to instill a vibrant and enthusiastic perspective on life.
