am a dedicated educator with over two decades of experience in Pasadena ISD. My journey began in the general education classroom, where I spent nine years teaching Second Grade and developing a deep love for foundational literacy.

Teaching style

Teaching Style My teaching philosophy centers on clarity, calm, and consistency. I believe that every student—regardless of their learning profile—deserves access to organized, high-quality instruction. In my classroom and my resources, I prioritize: Differentiated Instruction: Meeting students exactly where they are. Calming Aesthetics: Reducing sensory overload to promote focus. Evidence-Based Literacy: Using structured phonics and fluency metrics to drive growth.

My own education history

Master of Education in Special Education | Lamar University Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies | University of Houston-Clear Lake

Additional biographical information

When I’m not in the classroom or designing new digital downloads, I’m usually focused on my own continuous learning or managing the "busy-ness" of life in Texas with my husband and our dogs. My goal with this store is to share the practical, classroom-tested tools I’ve developed to help make the heavy lifting of special education documentation and literacy instruction just a little bit lighter for you.
