My Project

I love how curious, resilient, and full of personality my students are. Each day, they show up eager to learn, ask questions, and grow even when learning feels hard. They inspire me to be creative, patient, and intentional in every lesson I teach.

The resources in this project will bring our lessons to life.

Whether it’s hands-on materials for science, tools to strengthen their math skills, or items that support their social-emotional growth, each resource will help make learning more engaging, accessible, and joyful. With your support, my students will not only learn they’ll thrive.
