About the store
I am a passionate virtual educator, student success coach, and the founder of PREP TIME/PREP TIME Treasures. I specialize in supporting students in their online learning journeys while empowering educators and school leaders to grow, thrive, and build sustainable income beyond the classroom.
With over 22 years of experience in education, I’ve worn many hats: classroom teacher (traditional/virtual), instructional support specialist, curriculum developer, and mentor. Today, I combine all of that experience to serve both students and educators. I coach students through their online courses, helping them stay on track and build confidence. I also mentor teachers and administrators through engaging resources, personalized support, and strategies for increasing income through teacherpreneurship.
I believe every educator deserves to feel inspired, and every student deserves the support to succeed. Whether you're here for classroom resources, professional growth tools, or tips on boosting your income as an educator—you’re in the right place.
Let’s grow, teach, and thrive—together.
