About the store

I am a secondary educator with over a decade of teaching experience across English, writing, humanities, music, and interdisciplinary learning. I have taught in international and Canadian school settings and have worked with middle school, high school, and university-level learners. My classroom work has included literature study, essay writing, discussion-based learning, project-based units, arts-integrated curriculum, and student-centered inquiry. I have also designed curriculum and learning experiences that connect academic skills with real-world thinking, creativity, communication, and reflection. The resources in this store are shaped by actual classroom needs: clear instructions, structured lessons, editable materials, meaningful questions, and support for teachers who need resources that are polished but still practical.

Experience

Teaching style

My teaching style is structured, thoughtful, and student-centered. I believe students do their best work when expectations are clear, the task has a real purpose, and they are given enough support to think deeply rather than simply complete work. I often use discussion, close reading, writing workshops, creative projects, reflection, and interdisciplinary connections to help students build confidence and independence. I design resources with the same approach: clear enough for teachers to use immediately, rigorous enough to support meaningful learning, and flexible enough to adapt to different classrooms.

Awards & shining teacher moments

Some of my most meaningful teaching moments have come from helping students move from passive participation to genuine ownership of their work. I have developed student-centered projects where learners take on real roles as writers, editors, designers, discussion leaders, researchers, and presenters. I especially value moments when students begin to revise more seriously, discuss texts with more confidence, or see their own writing as something worth sharing with a wider audience. As an educator, I am most proud of building learning experiences that help students think more clearly, express themselves more confidently, and take their work seriously.

My own education history

hold a Master of Education in Advanced Teaching and have graduate-level training in music composition for visual media. My academic background also includes music, anthropology, education, writing, curriculum design, and interdisciplinary learning. This mix of education, humanities, and the arts strongly shapes the resources I create. I am interested in lessons that are intellectually serious, visually clean, creative, and practical for classroom use.

Additional biographical information

Outside the classroom, I work as a composer, curriculum designer, and arts organizer. That creative background influences how I design teaching resources: I care about structure, pacing, visual clarity, student engagement, and the overall learning experience. The Learning Studio was created to support teachers who want resources that are not childish, cluttered, or shallow. The aim is to provide mature, classroom-ready materials that help teachers save time while still offering students meaningful academic work.
