About the store
I have worked as an educator since 2012 as both a former school psychologist and now long-time classroom teacher. I hold an Ed.S. in Curriculum & Instruction and a gifted certification. I’ve taught grades 3–8 and have served as both a curriculum and technology lead throughout the years. I have also developed and led several professional learning experiences and have found great joy in creating meaningful, integrated learning experiences. Through this platform, I want to help educators by providing sustainable systems that support both student growth and teacher well-being. I’m passionate about using data to close learning gaps while keeping learning engaging and connected to the real world. Many of my resources feature practical themes that reflect my love of the outdoors and commitment to hands-on, authentic learning. My ultimate goal is to create and share resources that keep us, as teachers and humans, rooted in what matters most.
