I am EXTREMELY happy that you are here! 

​

I am a mom, entrepreneur, resource creator, and a teacher.

 

I am your typical, coffee-obsessed, fun-loving, elementary teacher. I am the WORST in the mornings, which is why coffee is my first thought. Yes, I probably chose the wrong career considering my inability to function in the mornings, but my passion for teaching could not be more evident. I truly consider myself so lucky that I get to do something that I LOVE this much. 

​

I have taught Kindergarten, First, Second and Third grade. This is where I fell in love with teaching K-2 literacy. But, it was also where I completely burned out. In the first years of teaching, I doubted my calling despite how much I had yearned to get there. This was when I decided to leave the classroom and co-funded my own preschool, Mind Gym.

 

Even though I now wear even more hats, as an administrator and teacher, I have never been more fullfilled in what I do. Mind Gym has challenged me to grow through uncharted territory. 

​

After my experience in the classroom, I was even more determined to create low-prep, research-based resources for teachers who might be on that same struggle boat. I highly undervalued how much I needed help from other teachers those first years. I was so hesitant to invest in my classroom buying resources and curriculums, but it has taught me so much as an educator and it has given me peace and freedom to enjoy my life, even while teaching. 

​

As a new mom, I have a new found passion in enhancing early learning skills; targeting cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development.

​

I love connecting with teachers and parents from all around the world. I love chatting. So, if there is anything you would like to share or ask, LET'S CONNECT! Being a teacher or navigating motherhood can be tough, which is why it's better when you don't do it alone!

​

​

Much love,

​
