Additional biographical information
I spent nearly a decade in the classroom teaching English just like you. During that time, most of my free time outside of the classroom was spent developing or searching for resources, planning for my classes, or marking the stacks of paper that continually piled up. I fell into a pattern of sacrificing my own time with my family and friends to work, and I still never quite felt like I was doing enough. It's my mission to help teachers escape this pattern and feel organized, inspired, and fully supported in the classroom. - Bonnie Hamer
