About the store
I’m a certified special education teacher with 5 years of experience teaching in a 12:1:1 self-contained classroom, working primarily with 5th and 6th grade students. I also have 1 year, currently, as a consultant teacher in High school. My teaching is deeply rooted in the belief that every student deserves access to high-quality, meaningful instruction—regardless of ability or placement. I specialize in designing modified and scaffolded curriculum aligned to New York State Standards, built with inclusion and accessibility at the core. Whether it’s adapting Eureka Math² or breaking down complex science concepts, my goal is to create resources that support both academic growth and IEP goals—without sacrificing engagement or rigor. As someone who advocates daily for inclusive practices, I know firsthand how hard it is to find ready-to-use materials that actually work for students with unique learning needs. That’s why I started creating my own tools—designed by a special educator, for special educators (and gen ed teachers who want to include all learners meaningfully!). If you’re looking for visual, differentiated, and data-friendly materials that bridge the gap between self-contained and general ed classrooms—you’re in the right place. Let’s build classrooms where every student feels seen, supported, and capable.

Teaching style

I believe learning should be engaging, meaningful, and rooted in real-life connections. My resources are designed to make teaching fun, accessible, and relevant—especially for students who thrive on structure, creativity, and hands-on support. Whether you're in a self-contained classroom or looking for inclusive strategies, my materials help students connect new concepts to what they already know and love.

My own education history

I have an Associates degree in human services, a Dual Bachelors Degree in Special Education K-12 & 1st-6th General Education and a Masters in Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Additional biographical information

I’m a proud mom of two. My oldest, who has Autism and ADHD, is my biggest inspiration for everything I do. Navigating the education system as both a teacher and a parent has fueled my passion for inclusion. I believe every child deserves to feel capable, valued, and supported—whether they're in a general education classroom, a self-contained setting, or somewhere in between.
