Hey there! 👋 I'm an educator who believes that for kids to truly learn, they've gotta move, feel inspired, and, most importantly, be taught considering their developmental ages and stages. Learning, in my book, should be fun AND build grit. If you're an untraditional educator, an educational leader, or part of a homeschool community who shares these beliefs, let's connect!With 15 years in education under my belt, I've worn a few hats—classroom teaching, homeschool facilitating, reading specialist, ELA Instructional Coach, and hosting tons of engaging Professional Development Sessions.Here's what gets me fired up: I truly believe educators hold the most crucial role in shaping the future. When they approach teaching with confidence, fidelity, and a sprinkle of fun, they're equipping the next generation with the tools they need to navigate this ever-changing world. That means fostering problem-solving skills and nurturing critical thinking—essential in a job landscape that's anything but predictable.Oh, and speaking of sharing knowledge, I'm the host of The Learning Curve- Education Conversations Podcast—yep, it's made its way to Apple Podcast's Top 200 in the How To Category! 🎙️I'm all about sparking conversations and collaborations that breathe life into these ideas.When it comes to content creation, I'm all about crafting stuff that's not just informative but engaging too. Whether it's for classroom teachers or homeschool families, I'm passionate about delivering material that's both thorough and exciting. I look forward to connecting and collaborating in order to make the future truly brighter!
