I have taught 1st through 6th grade as well as 8th grade, giving me a deep understanding of how skills build from elementary to middle school. I create resources that are classroom-tested, standards-aligned, and designed to support both teachers and students in meaningful, engaging ways

Teaching style

With 24 years of classroom experience, my teaching style is structured, scaffolded, and standards-driven. I believe in breaking complex skills into clear, manageable steps while maintaining rigor and high expectations. I emphasize evidence-based thinking, structured writing, and meaningful discussion so students build both confidence and independence.

Awards & shining teacher moments

I was honored to be named Teacher of the Year at Parks Primary School and later Saint Martin Parish District Teacher of the Year in 2014. Although these awards were significant milestones, the most meaningful moments in my career have been the countless successes shared with my students. Seeing growth, perseverance, and confidence develop in young learners is what truly defines my journey as an educator.

My own education history

Beyond the classroom, I am a proud mother of three and grandmother of eight. I am also a veteran of the U.S. Army Military Intelligence Brigade. My experiences in both education and military service have shaped my belief in discipline, perseverance, leadership, and service — values that influence both my teaching and the resources I create.
