Experience
Hi! I’m a Special Education Math teacher with experience teaching Pre-Algebra and Algebra 1 in both self-contained and co-taught general education settings. I’m passionate about making math accessible, meaningful, and confidence-building for all learners—especially those who benefit from extra support or alternative strategies. My resources are designed with differentiation in mind, rooted in real classroom experience, and aimed at helping students not just get through math, but grow through it.
Teaching style
My teaching style is all about clarity, support, and engagement. I believe students learn best when they feel successful, so I focus on breaking down complex math concepts into manageable steps, using visuals, hands-on practice, and real-life connections. Whether I’m designing lessons for a co-taught classroom or a small-group setting, I always prioritize scaffolded instruction, student independence, and confidence-building. My goal is to help every learner—especially those with unique needs—feel empowered to tackle math with success.

My own education history
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary and Special Education from Western Governors University, which gave me a strong foundation in inclusive and differentiated instruction. I also earned two graduate degrees from WGU: a Master’s in Curriculum and Instruction and a Master’s in Instructional Design. This combination equips me to create resources that are not only standards-aligned and accessible, but also thoughtfully designed to support engagement, clarity, and success for all learners.
Additional biographical information
Teaching has always been more than a job for me—it's a way to empower students and show them that they can succeed, especially when the path isn’t easy. As a Special Education Math teacher, I’ve learned that small victories in understanding can lead to big confidence gains. I began creating my own resources to meet my students’ unique needs, and now I’m passionate about sharing those tools with other educators. When I’m not teaching or creating, I enjoy crocheting, organizing (yes, I’m that teacher), and spending time with family.
