In the words of Nelson Mandela, "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world."  

 

I have been an educator for almost 30 years, and I am excited to be embarking on my writing journey with you. For the past 14 years I have had this deep desire to craft my own stories.  Now that dream is coming true and I am so excited to start.  I started my career in education as an Early Childhood Educator and later became a classroom teacher. 

 

I knew at a very young age that I wanted to be a teacher to share my joy of learning with others. Over the course of my career I have had the pleasure of reading numerous powerful children's books to my students and my own kids.

There has always been such tranquility and joy in seeing students listen to and participate in storytelling. I have seen the same joy and revelation in my children.

 

I love reading and want to share the same love of reading with as many children as possible.

I hope to have many educators and parents join me in my journey to ignite the love of reading through stories, guidance, and resources.​

 

When not working with students, teachers or parents at school, I can be found reading, writing or hiking with my family. I believe that when we take care of our body, it has a direct impact on the brain.

 

According to research, when we are physically healthy, we can improve our memory and reduce anxiety or depression. So, I exercise to keep my brain healthy.
