About the store

Experience

With over 10 years in Georgia middle school classrooms, teaching 8th-grade Physical Science and Social Studies, I bring real experience to every resource in my store. I hold a Master's degree in Curriculum and Instruction and a Specialist's degree in Instructional Technology, and that background shapes how I design materials that are both pedagogically sound and genuinely engaging for students.

Teaching style

My teaching style is built around student engagement and real connections to the content. You'll find resources in my store that get students out of their seats, working together, and genuinely excited about science — whether that's a friendly competition to review key concepts, a hands-on activity that makes abstract ideas click, or a collaborative challenge that has the whole class buzzing. I also believe that every learner deserves to succeed, which is why differentiation is at the heart of everything I create. My resources are designed to meet students where they are — with scaffolding for those who need support and extensions for those ready to be pushed further. When you download something from my store, you're getting materials that have been tested in a real classroom, refined through real feedback, and made with a whole lot of love for the craft of teaching. I'm so glad you're here — let's make science (and learning) something your students actually look forward to!
