Teaching style

My teaching style is rooted in the belief that every child can become a confident reader with the right support, practice, and encouragement. As a second-grade teacher, I use the CKLA curriculum and Science of Reading best practices to provide explicit instruction while making learning fun and engaging. The resources I create are inspired by the needs of my own students and are designed to be low-prep, classroom-tested, and easy to implement. I love creating activities that build reading confidence, strengthen phonics skills, and make literacy learning meaningful for both students and teachers.

Awards & shining teacher moments

Seeing my 2nd graders engaged and having academic conversations in the classroom is a game changer for me.

My own education history

I grew up in Anchorage, Alaska and earned my degree in Elementary Education in Pensacola, Florida. As an elementary teacher, I am passionate about creating engaging, effective resources that support literacy development and student success.
