About the store
Hi, I’m the creator behind Trailpost! I’m a teacher based in the Pacific Northwest with a background in both general education and music. I hold a B.A. in Education with a focus on Interdisciplinary Child Development from Western Washington University, but my path to the classroom was a bit unconventional!
Before teaching, I spent nine years as a software test engineer for Xbox, then pivoted to a career as a 1:1 behavior technician and early childhood educator. That unique combination of tech and child development completely shapes how I teach and design resources today. I love building tools that are practically "bug-proof" while remaining deeply centered on how kids actually learn and behave. (I even coded my own data-tracking tool, Waypoint, to make sure my students are actually growing while they play!)
I am also a huge history and literature nerd with a soft spot for authentic 19th-century Victorian aesthetics. In my literary resources, you will find high-quality, public-domain-inspired designs, so my Alice in Wonderland and Sherlock Holmes materials look like the authentic classics, free from modern movie adaptations! For my fellow music teachers, I also create resources grounded in solid pedagogy, incorporating Kodály methods for holistic music education.

Teaching style
In my classroom, I am all about gamification and interactive learning. If I can turn a math standard into a digital escape room or a history lesson into a browser-based simulator, I am going to do it. I believe that rigorous standards can absolutely be met through immersive play, and I strive to create resources that take the heavy lifting off the teacher's plate while keeping kids totally engaged.

For my fellow music teachers, I also create resources grounded in solid pedagogy, incorporating Kodály methods and Curwen hand signs.
Whether you are looking for a tech-forward classroom simulator or a solid, beautifully designed lesson plan to get you through the week, I hope you find something here that makes your teaching day a little bit easier and a lot more fun!
