About the store
Hi teacher friends! 👋
I’m a certified science teacher with 9+ years of experience teaching middle school life science, and I absolutely love creating resources that make your classroom easier and your lessons more engaging. Every activity I make is teacher-tested, student-approved, and designed to blend creativity with clear, standards-aligned science instruction.
I earned my B.S in 4–8 Science Education and a Master’s in Instructional Media, where I focused on building student-centered learning experiences that pair purposeful technology with research-based best practices. I’m passionate about project-based learning, inquiry activities, and creating materials that meet the needs of today’s digital learners.
My goal is simple:
To help busy teachers bring science to life with hands-on, meaningful, and ready-to-use resources—without adding extra stress to your plate.

Teaching style
My teaching style is student-centered, visual, and interactive. I believe in making science memorable through analogies, movement, storytelling, and design...so students don’t just memorize concepts, they connect with them.
Awards & shining teacher moments
I was honored to receive my district’s EDGE Teacher Award for consistently innovating, engaging students, and bringing science to life in meaningful, memorable ways!
Shining Teacher Moment-I develop lessons and activities that spark students’ love for science, including hands-on labs, creative projects, and festive, interactive units that combine learning with fun. I love seeing students’ excitement and curiosity in the moment—and it’s always such a joy when students from past years come back to visit, peek in on class, and say, “Remember when…” as we share new science adventures!
My own education history
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Education and a Master’s degree focused on Instructional Media and Technology, which allows me to blend strong, research-based pedagogy with digital tools and design that support all learners. I’m also currently completing my STEM endorsement to further expand my expertise in science education. I’m passionate about lifelong learning and continuously exploring new strategies, tools, and approaches to make science engaging, meaningful, and accessible for every student.
