About the store
I am a success story. Born visually impaired and considered legally blind, I was once told I should attend a special school. My mom chose to keep me in public school, and that decision gave me the chance to rise to the challenge. I not only completed my education, but went on to become a Nationally Board Certified teacher in a regular education classroom. I am living proof that there are no limits when you put your mind to something. For the past 26 years, I have taught students from kindergarten through 4th grade—9 years in private school and 16 years in public school. Teaching has always been both an honor and a challenge as I strive to meet the needs of each of my students on their individual levels. I love technology and use it daily to enhance learning and classroom engagement. On TPT, you’ll find free resources to support teachers, as well as reasonably priced kits that can be printed poster-sized—saving you money compared to buying them in stores. I also create one-of-a-kind graphics that teachers can use to brighten their classrooms and lessons. Outside of teaching, I’ve added to my career by becoming a certified travel agent, where I create custom itineraries and book vacations for solo travelers, couples, and families. I am also an author, having written The Playground Tree, and a creator of adult coloring books featuring themes of travel and Biblical scriptures. I hope the resources I share here will inspire you, save you time, and bring something special to your classroom. 💡

Teaching style

I believe in hands-on learning. I believe students learn best when they can create/construct their knowledge. I believe there are times when whole group instruction is needed. I believe ALL students CAN learn.
