I am an education professional, writer, curriculum developer, and author of children's literature working with various schools, education networks, publishers, non-profit organizations, and curriculum companies. I hold an undergraduate degree in communications, a certificate in non-profit management, and a master's degree in education and children's literature. I am also working on a certificate in world art history and am certified to teach child and family yoga.
Recent projects I’ve worked on include:
Leading children and caregivers in yoga/literacy workshops at a peaceful studio called Yoga Happens Here. These classes got children learning and moving, while also supporting adults in their efforts to teach children focus, self-regulation, and recreational reading.
Working for an online educational publisher as an author and reading specialist. I crafted both fiction and non-fiction e-books for early elementary students, also reviewing works by other authors to ensure they were correctly leveled.
Writing poetry and short stories for very young children within the magazine market to encourage early exposure to books and promote family reading experiences. My work has been featured in publications including Ladybug Magazine, Highlights: Hello, and Highlights: High Five. I am also a member of The Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators.
Creating curriculum products for home and classroom use focused on reading comprehension, children’s yoga, and social-emotional learning. Click here to view my online curriculum resource store.
Currently I’m working with several curriculum companies to create original reading passages, ELA tools, and assessments for elementary through junior high students. If you are interested in collaborating with me on any educational writing or curriculum projects, contact me to discuss your needs.
