Experience

Montessori-trained educator & author helping you raise globally-aware kids. 🌎 Specialist in geography & culture units featuring real photography. Founder of the 193 Little Adventures Club. Let’s explore the world!

Teaching style

My resources follow the Montessori philosophy: they are clean, focused, and prioritise real-life imagery. I believe in giving children the tools for independent exploration, like 3-part cards and hands-on mapping... while fostering a deep, respectful curiosity for the world’s diverse cultures. My units are designed to be "print-and-go" for busy teachers but "deep-dive" for curious students.

Additional biographical information

I’ve spent over 30 years living and teaching internationally, from Europe to South America to Japan. This "on-the-ground" experience is what fuels my 193 country packs, I don't just research these places; I want children to feel the heartbeat of each culture. When I’m not creating resources, you’ll find me traveling with my son, experimenting with global recipes, or documenting our latest "Little Adventure."
