I’m a mom and educator with 20 years experience as an elementary reading specialist. I find immense joy in blending my love for learning with my desire to give children time to slow down and be curious in such a busy world. Through my publishing venture, Blooming Artists, I create publications designed to motivate and engage young readers and writers on their learning journey. My goal is to make learning exciting and enjoyable, using art to spark curiosity and foster a deep love for all things literacy. When I’m not writing or teaching, I cherish time with my family and enjoy getting my hands dirty in the garden. My work is a celebration of the magic that happens when art and education come together, helping children to bloom into their fullest creative selves.
