I’ve had the joy of working in nearly every learning environment over the last 16 years, from traditional classrooms, virtual schools, and learning centers, to eight years of homeschooling my three daughters. In each setting, my goal has been the same: to create meaningful, personalized learning experiences that help students flourish.

I partner with schools, districts, homeschool families, and organizations to provide instructional coaching, professional development, and educational consulting that supports all learners. While I specialize in gifted education, my work is grounded in inclusive, research-based practices that benefit every student.

I am a certified English/Language Arts teacher, Gifted & Talented Education specialist, and hold a lifetime educator license in Wisconsin. I am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Educational Psychology and Instructional Coaching through the University of Wisconsin-Madison, deepening my commitment to evidence-based, student-centered practice.

In addition to consulting, I design curriculum, student workbooks, and hands-on learning resources that support both academic growth and social-emotional development. My goal is to give educators practical, adaptable tools that bring more joy and curiosity into teaching and learning.

Beyond my professional work, I serve on the boards of the Wisconsin Association for Talented and Gifted (WATG) and the Wausau Conservatory of Music, advocating for programs that nurture creativity and intellectual growth. Global education and volunteer initiatives have also shaped my passion for equity and innovation in education.

When I’m not collaborating with educators or creating new resources, you’ll find me enjoying life in Central Wisconsin with my husband, our three daughters, one very sweet dog, a cat, and more than 50 houseplants. Whether I’m painting, gardening, or cheering on my girls, I believe in nurturing curiosity - in all its forms.
