About the store
I've been an educator since 2017 and have served as a classroom teacher for all grades, from 6 through 12. I am licensed to teach United States History, World History, Government, Civics, Political Science, Geography, Economics, Sociology, Anthropology, and Psychology. I have worked in both public and private schools, and also taught courses in Photography, English, Mythology and Folklore, and Health. I really enjoy working with and supporting students who have learning disabilities. Over the years, I have worn many hats. I've served as the Social Studies Department Chair, Senior College and Career Counselor, and advisor for various school clubs and activities. I have also tutored in nearly every subject imaginable and coached students on the ACT and SAT. Having stepped away from the classroom, I am now a leader in Kids' Ministry and also enjoy mentoring unhoused high school students and coordinating a non-profit healthcare clinic for underserved communities. I love being a teacher-author here on TPT!
