Teaching style

My approach is developmentally grounded, with a scholarly twist. I love incorporating popular media, storytelling, and interactive tools into hands-on materials to make learning joyful, relatable, and memorable. ​You'll find that my resources consistently: ​Foster independence and confidence in students. ​Reflect inclusive classroom practices and support diverse learning needs. ​Support multiple modes of learning: visual, auditory, and movement-based. ​Are designed for easy use by both teachers and families.

Awards & shining teacher moments

One of my proudest accomplishments has been helping students on the autism spectrum reach their full potential, from early literacy to post-secondary success. I've had the privilege of tutoring neurodiverse learners through elementary and high school, supporting their academic growth and self-confidence. ​I believe that with the right tools and encouragement, all learners can succeed, and I bring that belief into every resource I create.

My own education history

I began my post-secondary studies in the Québec college system in Nursing, where I developed a strong foundation in care, empathy, and developmental support. I later transitioned to Early Childhood Care and Education at Algonquin College, where I discovered my true calling: supporting children’s growth through play, inclusion, and meaningful learning experiences.

Additional biographical information

I am a parent of four children, two of whom are neurodivergent. Currently, I tutor and homeschool within my community. I create secular educational materials and am passionate about inclusion for all learners.
