About the store
As a passionate special education teacher that has worked with indigenous youth on the Qualla Boundary for the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians for 10 plus years, married to an EBCI enrolled member for and mother of two neurodivergent children, I bring firsthand knowledge and expertise to creating educational resources that are meaningful, engaging, culturally responsive and respectful, trauma informed, and accessible for diverse learners. Since beginning my teaching journey, I’ve fostered a love for storytelling by guiding my students in authoring and publishing a book each year. Our most recent book became a permanent Story Walk installation in downtown Cherokee on the Island Park, proudly showcasing my students' creativity and hard work. With years of experience in inclusive education, I specialize in creating fun, colorful, and engaging resources that support reading comprehension, self-regulation, social-emotional growth, and academic development for students with ADHD, autism, and other learning differences.

Teaching style
I love bringing fun and creativity into my teaching, making learning an engaging and joyful experience for my students. I firmly believe that to help children thrive academically, we must first see them as whole individuals—acknowledging their emotions, unique strengths, and challenges. When students' needs are met, true learning becomes possible. I strive to extend grace whenever I can, fostering a supportive environment where children feel safe to grow and take risks. At the same time, I value consistency, clear boundaries, and high expectations, as these provide students with essential life skills and a sense of structure that empowers them to succeed inside and outside the classroom.
