My mission is to make learning engaging and impactful for every student. With degrees in psychology and nursing, and a master's in school counseling, I've identified a significant gap in quality SEL and executive functioning resources. This inspired me to develop and share my own materials, ensuring that educators have access to effective low-prep tools without the hassle of creating them from scratch. Each resource is designed to empower students, helping them navigate their academic and personal journeys with confidence and success.

Welcome to my store, where learning meets growth!

My mission is to make learning engaging and impactful for every student.

Teaching style

I believe that learning should be fun and engaging, and my resources are designed with this philosophy at heart. My approach meets students where they are, helping them grow and succeed in the world around them. By connecting the importance of what they are learning to real-world applications, I ensure that students understand the relevance and future benefits of their education. Engaging activities and fun games are integral to my teaching style, proving that students can have fun while they learn. I also emphasize the value of small group instruction, which allows for more personalized attention and fosters a supportive learning environment. My goal is to create an educational experience that is both enjoyable and impactful, empowering students to thrive academically and personally.

Awards & shining teacher moments

I am proud to have created a middle school counseling program recognized as an ASCA Model Program and an Indiana Gold Star Program. These prestigious awards highlight the effectiveness and excellence of the counseling initiatives I've developed to support students' social-emotional and academic growth. My passion for career exploration and social-emotional learning has led me to share my insights at various esteemed conferences. I've had the honor of speaking twice at the Indiana School Counselor Conference on Career Exploration for Middle School, the School Counselor Leadership Network in California, and at the ASCA National School Counselor Conference on the same topic. Additionally, I've presented at the Indiana Principals Conference, and the Indiana Assistant Principals Conference, focusing on implementing SEL programs in schools. These experiences have allowed me to contribute to the professional community and support fellow educators in enhancing their students' success.
