Hi! I’m Shelby, a licensed educator helping new teachers thrive and veteran educators rediscover the magic of teaching.

I’m committed to eradicating student apathy through building strong relationships and engaging instruction including creating hands-on lessons that foster strong literacy skills.

Great teaching starts with vibrant communities. Whether you’re just starting out or have been teaching for years, my goal is to support you in making meaningful connections and providing helpful resources.

As many educators are, I’m a travel enthusiast who loves exploring new places! I’ll never get over the feeling of standing on the edge of a continent or walking where generations of people have walked before.

Join me as we explore effective teaching strategies, share ideas, and work together to create engaging and supportive learning environments!
