About the store
My entire educational journey as a student and teacher has been centered around guiding children to learn through exploration and hands on experiences. I have always valued the idea of inquiry-based instruction and problem solving. The greatest accomplishment I have was earning my Ed.D in Leadership and I hope to use my experiences to further the field of STEM Education in and outside of the classroom for young learners and their teachers.

Experience
My entire educational journey as a student and teacher has been centered around guiding children to learn through exploration and hands on experiences. I have always valued the idea of inquiry-based instruction and problem solving. The greatest accomplishment I have was earning my Ed.D in Leadership and I hope to use my experiences to further the field of STEM Education in and outside of the classroom for young learners and their teachers.
Teaching style
I teach my students to learn how to fail before they succeed. In failure there is growth and character development. Learning to never give up, because there is always a solution (that just sometimes has not yet been found), is one of my core values as an educator.
Awards & shining teacher moments
I have a lot of experience teaching children from all over the world. I have taught in schools that value a multi-cultural approach to education and at military institutions for the department of defense. My favorite position as an educator was in Okinawa, Japan.
My own education history
I have a Bachelors of Science in Elementary and Kindergaden Education from the University of Pennsylvania (Penn State). I earned my Masters of Education in Instructional Design and Technology, while teaching in Japan. I then completed my Doctorate of Education in Leadership and STEM Education.
Additional biographical information
I value my experiences as an educator but I have grown most in life from becoming a mother. Watching my own children grow and researching child brain development has been a fascinating adventure. I strive to use all of my unique experiences as an educator, student, and mother to build high quality materials for others to benefit from.
