About Me
My Background
I hold a BA in English, an MS in Education, and a 6th Year in Educational Leadership.
Before entering public education, I spent over a decade working at a boarding school for students with learning differences and ADHD, serving as an administrator, literature teacher, and residential advisor. That experience shaped my understanding of how powerful individualized instruction and strong relationships can be for student growth.
Now, as a public school teacher, I’ve gained an equally important perspective. Public education involves larger class sizes, diverse learning needs, IEPs and 504 plans, parent communication, and the bureaucratic layers that impact day-to-day teaching. I don’t share this as a complaint, but because I understand what teachers are navigating in real classrooms. I know how limited our time is and how much is asked of us.
I am also trained in yoga and mindfulness, and while I’m not currently teaching regular yoga classes, I integrate those principles (grounding, patience, breathwork, and self-awareness) into my life, my parenting, and my work with students. These values shape how I teach and how I create resources for educators.
Having lived both independent school and public school experiences, I see the very real gap between educational theory and the realities of classroom practice. That understanding is at the heart of what I create here: practical, classroom-tested supports that respect teachers’ time and expertise.
What I Offer
For Students
- Individualized academic tutoring
- Reading intervention & structured literacy support
- Middle school ELA and writing guidance
- Executive functioning and study skills coaching
I love helping kids who feel disconnected from school rediscover their strengths, build confidence, and experience success in ways that feel authentic to them.
For Teachers
- Classroom-ready ELA resources
- Narrative writing supports, transition lists, anchor charts, and rubrics
- A growing mix of free resources and low-cost classroom tools
- Materials created by a working public school teacher who understands real classroom challenges
My goal is simple: Provide meaningful support without wasting teachers’ time. Everything I create is designed to be practical, clear, and immediately usable: no fluff, no extra work, and no overcomplicated systems.
Why This Space Matters
I believe students and teachers both deserve support that meets them where they are. Whether I’m helping a child through tutoring or creating a resource that lightens a teacher’s workload, my focus is on grounded, human-centered work that honors the real demands of learning and teaching.
