About the store
Hello everyone,
I’d love to share a little about my journey in education. During my student teaching experience, I split my time between a dynamic 3rd-grade classroom and a high school Resource Room. These two very different settings strengthened my flexibility as an educator and reinforced the importance of meeting students where they are academically and emotionally.
I began my teaching career during the COVID year as an Elementary Resource Room teacher. That experience quickly expanded my skills in virtual instruction, educational technology, and adapting lessons to meet students’ needs in ever-changing circumstances.
Since then, I have served as a Moderate Cognitive Impairment (MOCI) teacher, a 2nd-grade teacher, and now an Elementary Resource Room teacher once again. Each role has broadened my perspective and strengthened my instructional practices across both general education and self-contained settings. These experiences have deepened my belief that every learner is unique and capable of growth with the right support.
I am passionate about creating engaging, individualized learning experiences through hands-on activities, purposeful use of technology, and meaningful encouragement. Supporting students as they build confidence, overcome challenges, and celebrate their successes is the most rewarding part of my work. I am grateful to continue doing what I love each day.

Supporting students as they build confidence, overcome challenges, and celebrate their successes is the most rewarding part of my work. I am grateful to continue doing what I love each day.
My own education history
I began my college journey at Hope College, where I spent two years exploring my initial interest in nursing. During that time, I realized my true passion was in education. After beginning work as a paraprofessional with our local ISD, I quickly discovered a deep commitment to supporting students in the classroom. That experience confirmed my desire to become a special education teacher.
While working full-time as a paraprofessional for six years, I pursued my teaching degree and earned my Bachelor’s in Special Education with an endorsement in Learning Disabilities from Western Governors University in 2019. I have since earned my Master’s in Special Education with an Autism Spectrum Disorder endorsement from Central Michigan University, further strengthening my expertise in supporting diverse learners.
Over the past decade, I have served in a variety of roles, including 2nd-grade teacher, Elementary Moderate Cognitive Impairment teacher, and Elementary Resource Room teacher. Each experience has shaped my instructional approach and deepened my commitment to individualized, student-centered support. I am especially grateful to be back in the Resource Room, where I can continue helping students build confidence, skills, and independence.
