Meet the Teacher

Welcome to my little corner of the education world. Being part of the greater educator community is truly something special. Teachers are world changers. What you do every day is no small thing. With everything you’ve got on your plate, you probably don’t have as much time as you’d like to create or find the most engaging and comprehensive lessons for your students.

This is where I am so excited to support you. I create and share resources that are accessible and bring learning to life for your students, so you can spend your time on the sweet side of teaching - your students. After all, that’s a big part of why you decided to become a teacher in the first place, right? Before I share what I’ve created for you, I want to share a little bit about myself with you.

I wanted to be a teacher my whole life. I was the little girl who taught school to her little sister and all the little neighborhood kids that came around. I was the little girl who spent her own money buying lesson plan books and whose most memorable childhood Christmas gift was an overhead projector with a pack of Vis-a-Vis pens. I was also the little girl who kept a growing box of poems under her bed and who later interned at her hometown newspaper and serve as editor of her high school yearbook. Teaching, creating, and writing are lifelong loves of mine.

My lifelong loves merged together in my first year as a teacher. I couldn’t find the resources I wanted, so I made my own. I had so much fun doing it that I never looked back. Creating engaging, informative, and accessible resources for my students to use brings me so much joy.

In 2016, my husband and I welcomed our first little girl into the world and have since had the joy of adding two more pink bundles to our family. Ultimately, I made the very hard decision to step out of the classroom to be home full-time with my tiny babies.

I may have temporarily traded in grade books and my SmartBoard for onesies and board books, but I make the most of quiet early mornings and nap times to create and write resources for you. You can take the teacher out of the classroom, but you can’t take the love of learning and teaching out of her. I sincerely love staying connected to the classroom and the greater community of teachers through sharing my resources and hearing from teachers about the impact my resources have on their students.

I am so grateful that I get to share my passion for creating and writing with teachers like yourself. Thank you for being here and letting me partner with you in shaping the minds of the little learners in your classroom!

If you made it this far, thanks for getting to know a little bit about me.

I’d love to hear about how you got into teaching! Share your story with me through the “Contact” tab at the top.

P.S. This sweet, blurry snap shows me in front of my very first classroom ever. I never want to forget the sheer excitement (and simultaneous panic) leading up to my very first Meet the Teacher, my very first day of school, and all of the other firsts that I had I looked forward to as a little girl. Can you remember your first day?
