About the store
Hi, I'm Stacia—a high school math teacher from the St. Louis area with a passion to help students build confidence in math. I've taught a wide range of courses including Algebra Foundations, Algebra 1, Algebra 1 Strategies, Algebra 2, Geometry, ACT Prep, and Algebra with Financial Implications. My classroom focus has always been making math accessible, engaging, and relevant for all learners.
I hold a Bachelor's degree in Secondary Mathematics and a Master’s in Educational Technology, which fuels my passion for blending strong pedagogy with thoughtful, tech-savvy designs. I believe that the best resources are not only effective—they're beautiful, too.
Outside the classroom, I'm creative at heart. I designed all the stationery for my wedding (from save-the-dates to programs) and I’m always up for a good puzzle, a new local adventure, or planning my next vacation.
In my store, you'll find classroom-ready math resources that are clear, visually polished, and built to save teachers time while supporting student success. I'm so glad you're here!
