About the store
Experience
I've taught in international schools across three continents and worked with students from over 40 countries. I specialize in PYP and inquiry-based learning, and I’m passionate about creating resources that support identity development, SEL, and cross-cultural understanding in diverse classrooms.
Teaching style
I believe learning should be meaningful, creative, and grounded in student voice. My classroom centers on reflection, choice, and cultural awareness — and the resources I make reflect that. Whether it’s a back-to-school identity activity or a classroom label set, I design with inclusion and adaptability in mind.
Awards & shining teacher moments
Some of my favorite moments in teaching haven’t happened during lessons — they've come during musicals, softball games, and teacher workshops. I’ve directed student performances, coached sports teams, and led professional development sessions for staff — all spaces where connection, confidence, and community really shine. I’m most proud of helping students feel seen, especially those navigating international moves or layered identities.
My own education history
hold a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education, a Postgraduate Certificate in Primary Education, and I’m currently completing a Master’s in Education Technologies and Instructional Design. I'm always exploring new ways to blend identity, inquiry, and tech in the classroom.
Additional biographical information
I’m a Third Culture Kid myself — raised across countries, fluent in multiple languages (and occasionally blanking on all of them at once). TCK Classroom is an extension of that lived experience, designed to support teachers and students who move through the world with layered identities.
