About the store
I've played and playtested 2,000+ games! Excited to share educational games that work, with clear rules, fast setup, and learning outcomes (with options for differentiation and scaffolding!). I am a game designer with over 10 years of experience working with curriculum designers and teachers.
In addition, I assistant taught in various classrooms for 5 years, and taught an afterschool ELA class for a mixed group of 3-5th graders. I tutored part time for several years K-12 math and ELA, and worked in a children's museum (toddler/pre-k-elementary).

Teaching style
Games are such an engaging tool for educators with so many learning opportunities when done right! Students can develop conceptual understanding, practice and review concepts, build problem solving, critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and social emotional skills.
Awards & shining teacher moments
I've published two physical board games (crowdfunded and grant-funded)!
