HEY THERE.

You don't feel like yourself lecturing. You don't like teaching straight to the test. You want to teach creatively, but you don't want to alienate students who hate art or administrators afraid of change.

I GET IT.

You are not alone. Thousands of teachers around the world feel the same way, and I’m here to tell you they are not giving up or giving in!

Helping you put together the creative curriculum and classroom you dream of is what I'm all about.

I spent almost a decade teaching at every high school grade level – regular, honors, AND I.B. Now I channel my experience and love for education into making the way easier for you.

I hope you’ll let me share ideas with you, whether that’s by tuning into the podcast, hopping into my Facebook group, reading the blog, or coming to say hello on Instagram. 

I BELIEVE IN:

Teaching as your true self. Thick frosting on cakes. Kids’ creativity. Rainbows of flair pens.

YOU CAN FIND ME:

Traveling. Baking pie. Searching for flowers in the woods. Podcasting. Playing Parcheesi with my kids.
