About the store
I am an education advocate and learning strategist dedicated to helping families and teachers guide kids toward future-ready success. I have devoted decades in classroom and ed tech roles where I learned firsthand how powerful real-world, curiosity-driven learning can be. I have also created standards-aligned lessons content for a large state supporting teachers with resources that helped students think more deeply and learn more independently. The infusion of technology in classrooms motivated me to pursue a Master's of Educational Technology where I honed expertise in engagement and responsible use of technology in teaching. I moved into the ed-tech world, guiding teachers and faculty across the country and later stepped into strategic leadership roles where I helped schools design meaningful curriculum, improve digital instruction, and use technology to support student engagement and growth. Today, I host Learnistry, a podcast where I bring together everything I’ve learned to create practical, accessible tools that help teachers and homeschool families build confident, capable, future-ready learners.
