About the store

Experience

I’ve spent over 2 decades teaching everything from kindergarten to sixth grade. My experience has shown me how much kids thrive when lessons are hands-on, clearly structured, and developmentally appropriate. I create resources that help teachers save time without sacrificing depth or engagement.

Teaching style

My teaching style blends structure with creativity. I believe students learn best when they understand the “why” behind what they’re doing, so my lessons always build conceptual understanding. Whether it’s literacy, social studies, or science, I aim to make big ideas simple and fun.

Awards & shining teacher moments

Some of my proudest moments have been seeing former students become confident readers and writers. I’ve also had the honor of mentoring new teachers and leading professional development on structured literacy and early intervention strategies.

My own education history

Masters in Regular and Special Elementary Education, pursuing a teen and parenting life coach certification as well.

Additional biographical information

When I’m not teaching or creating, I’m usually reading with coffee in hand, creating content and resources or spending time with my 2 favorite boys.
