About the store
As a former Milwaukee Public Schools K3 Head Start teacher, I know how overwhelming it can feel to support every child’s needs while meeting curriculum goals—especially with limited time and resources.
That’s why I created Tiny Tykes Toolkitz—a collection of playful, purposeful resources designed to help early childhood teachers build strong routines, support emotional growth, and meet developmental milestones with confidence.
Each toolkit is created by someone who’s been in your shoes—who knows what works in real classrooms and believes that every teacher deserves tools that make their job a little lighter and their impact even bigger.
You’re doing important work. My goal is to make it a little easier—and a lot more fun.

As a former Milwaukee Public Schools K3 Head Start teacher, I know how overwhelming it can feel to support every child’s needs while meeting curriculum goals—especially with limited time and resources.

You’re doing important work. My goal is to make it a little easier—and a lot more fun.
Teaching style
My teaching style was all about connection, consistency, and creativity. I believed in meeting each child where they were—academically, emotionally, and developmentally—and creating a classroom that felt safe, structured, and full of joy. I leaned into routines, hands-on learning, and visual supports to help young learners thrive, especially those who needed just a little extra support.
I saw how the right tools could transform tough moments into teachable ones. That mindset now guides everything I design.
Awards & shining teacher moments
I’m proud to be a GDUSA award-winning designer. My winning project focused on branding a large-scale corporate event, bringing energy and clarity to every touchpoint. For me, design is more than aesthetics—it’s about creating visuals that connect, communicate, and make an impact. Earning this award was an exciting milestone and a reminder that thoughtful, purpose-driven design truly stands out.
