TK's Studio

I have worked in Early Education for over 15 years, with most of that time spent teaching Transitional Kindergarten (TK). I also have experience supporting children on the autism spectrum and have a deep passion for play-based, developmentally appropriate learning.

My teaching is rooted in hands-on, joyful, and meaningful learning. I blend play-based approaches with purposeful academics, drawing inspiration from the Reggio Emilia philosophy. I love creating resources that support identity development, social-emotional learning, and classroom community building. My classroom is a space where creativity, confidence, and curiosity thrive!

Over the years, I’ve been honored to mentor new teachers, lead early childhood initiatives at my school, and present professional development focused on inclusive practices and project-based learning. One of my proudest moments was when my students created a full classroom airport from scratch—led entirely by their questions and ideas!

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Child Development and a Multiple Subject Teaching Credential from the High Tech High Credentialing Program. I also have a certificate in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), which informs my ability to differentiate for diverse learners.

I’m a mom of three and love spending time roller-skating, crafting, and playing board games with my kids. Outside the classroom, I run a small business focused on custom party favors and milestone kits for moms and children. I’m passionate about supporting other educators with ready-to-use, meaningful resources that bring joy and connection into the classroom.
