Additional biographical information
When I’m not creating classroom resources or cheering on multilingual learners, you can usually find me outside—exploring nature trails, going on little adventures with my two amazing kids, or soaking up the sunshine whenever possible. I’m a big fan of excellent books, bold coffee, and extra spicy food. Teaching has been one of the great joys of my life—but so has slowing down, laughing with my family, and savoring the small stuff.
