About the store
I’m a veteran educator with almost two decades of experience teaching middle and high school special education and general education students across Language Arts and Social Studies. I’ve served in leadership roles such as Summer School Principal, Anti-Bullying Specialist, and PBSIS Coordinator—designing interventions, developing curriculum, and supporting teachers across the board. My resources are classroom-tested, student-centered, and designed for both rigor and accessibility. I add new resources to Bundles without raising the price as a way to show customers my appreciation.

Teaching style
My teaching style blends structure with creativity. I believe students learn best when materials are clear, consistent, and scaffolded for their success—especially students with IEPs or learning differences. I design everything I post with an eye toward differentiation, engagement, and skills that transfer to the real world.
