Hands-on, laughter-filled, standards-aligned learning that keeps kids engaged and behavior problems at bay.

I help tired teachers rediscover their spark with ready-to-use, standards-aligned resources, honest encouragement, and real-talk inspiration that make teaching simpler, more joyful, and deeply meaningful again — because joy still belongs in the classroom.

Whether it’s creating sub plans that actually save your sanity, STEM and Makerspace challenges that spark curiosity, or podcast episodes that speak the truth about teaching today, my goal is simple: to help you feel seen, supported, and reconnected to the part of teaching that made you fall in love with it in the first place.

What I Believe…

I believe teachers deserve:

-Autonomy and trust.

-Time to rest WITHOUT the guilt or overwhelm.

-Laughter, creativity, and real support- not just more paperwork.

-Classrooms filled with curiosity, not chaos.

-And the daily reminder that you are ENOUGH, just as you are!

A Little More About Me…

I’ve been a teacher, a student support specialist, a media specialist, a mom, and a lifelong believer in the power of good stories.


I’m also a podcaster, resource creator, and relentless advocate for teachers who are doing extraordinary things in impossible circumstances.

When I’m not creating or recording, you can find me walking my dog Kobe, sipping on water from my emotional support water bottle, or brainstorming ways to make learning fun again — for kids and teachers.
