About the store
Welcome to my TPT store! With a rich background spanning diverse teaching environments and methodologies, I bring a wealth of experience to my digital resources. My journey began teaching 5th grade on a military base in Germany, followed by 4th grade at a Fine Arts integration school in Florida. Returning to Indiana, I immersed myself in Project Based Learning (PBL) as both a 5th and 6th-grade teacher, earning my PBL certification along the way.
Currently, I am deeply involved in digital coaching for a PBL company, empowering educators through workshops to embark on their own PBL journeys. Balancing my professional life with homeschooling my 3 elementary aged children keeps me engaged and continually inspired.
