Teaching Style

I believe in an active, collaborative approach to education, where creativity and engagement go hand in hand. My classroom is a space where students explore, create, and think critically—and that same philosophy carries over into the resources I design. Whether it’s a hands-on activity or a simple, no-prep lesson, every resource has a purpose: to make teaching easier and learning more engaging.

I’m passionate about helping educators bring joy, structure, and creativity into their classrooms. As I continue to grow my business, I’m excited to share even more high-quality, time-saving resources that make a difference for both teachers and students.

Education History

I graduated from a university in Indiana with a Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education, and I’ve been teaching first grade for 7 years. Over the years, I’ve refined my teaching style, blending structure with creativity to keep students engaged while making lesson planning stress-free for teachers.

About Me

I’m the creator behind Creative State of Mind on Teachers Pay Teachers, where I design simple, effective, and engaging resources for teachers just like you. I’m detail-oriented, and I believe that every resource should be purpose-driven—because your time is valuable, and every minute in the classroom counts!

A few fun facts about me:

✨ I’m obsessed with organization (color-coding makes everything better).
✨ My brain is always thinking—new ideas, new lessons, new ways to make teaching easier.
✨ And yes… I LOVE Beyoncé! 🎶

I’d love to connect with you! If you have any questions or just want to chat, feel free to reach out.
