About the store
With experience teaching both middle school and high school math, I’ve had the most experience working with 7th grade students. I align resources to both the TEKS and Common Core standards, ensuring that every activity supports standards. I also have created many resources to aide in tracking progress and accountability according to GT, IEP, and 504 plans. My resources can be readily adapted to meet the diverse and multi-tiered support needs of your students.
My goal is to create resources that help students feel successful, confident, and even excited about math!!!!!

Teaching style
I believe math class should be active, engaging, and full of discovery. Yes—even in a math classroom, students can experience hands-on learning through experiments, labs, and interactive challenges. I love designing discovery-based lessons that give students the space to explore concepts and build understanding for themselves.
Collaboration is also a big part of my classroom. Whether it's through group activities, real-world problem solving, or classroom games, I aim to create opportunities for students to talk, think critically, and learn from one another. Most of all, I want my students to walk away with positive experiences that show math can be exciting, meaningful, and even FUN!!!!
Awards & shining teacher moments
A standout moment in my career was being named Teacher of the Year during my very first year in the classroom. That recognition wasn’t just an award—it was a reflection of the passion, dedication, and connection I strive to bring to my students every day!!!
My own education history
- Bachelor's in Secondary Math Education Composite (Grades 6 - 12)
- Certified to teach GT students (Gifted/Talented)
- Experience with teaching and tutoring college courses including Calculus 1 & 2, as well as Multivariable Calculus.
Additional biographical information
When I’m not in the classroom or designing math resources, you can usually find me outdoors or trying something creative! I love hiking, fishing, snowboarding, and running—but I also have a passion for weightlifting (I used to compete!), sewing, and cooking up new recipes. If you haven't guessed, I also have an over the top passion for COWS!!!!
