Welcome to my little corner of the internet! I’m the creator behind Krafty in Kinder, and I’m passionate about helping teachers with low-prep, high-engagement resources for primary classrooms.

After teaching for six years—three in Kindergarten and three in First Grade—I made the decision to step out of the classroom to stay home with my two beautiful daughters. While I may not be teaching in a school anymore, my love for education remains strong. Through Krafty in Kinder, I aim to support teachers by sharing the lessons, tips, and inspiration that I wish I had when I first started.

I was born and raised in sunny Florida but moved to New Jersey after graduating from the University of Central Florida (Go Knights!). In 2019, I completed my Masters in Reading at Montclair State University, solidifying my dedication to fostering a love of literacy in young learners.

When I’m not creating resources or connecting with fellow educators, you can find me indulging in my love for Target runs, reading the latest psychological thriller, traveling, and enjoying time with my family.
