About The Teaching Lifestyle

You're in the right place if you:

• You are a new teacher looking for advice on this new career path, or a veteran teacher looking for fresh ideas!
• Feel overwhelmed with all the different resources available to teachers, you just want to know what is worth it!
• You want help with balancing your work and life; as a teacher it's easy to let our career consume us.
• You want to see real-classroom examples of best teaching practices. 
• You want to be culturally aware in your classroom, and provide culturally relevant instruction!
• You want to see Google Classroom and Thinking Maps in use.
• You're interested in beauty, style, and pets!

I am entering my 7th year as a professional educator here in Arizona. I have also recently stepped into a new role as the Educational Technology Specialist (Instructional Coach) supporting Kinder through 8th grade in all subjects. It has always been my dream to be a teacher, but it took me a while to find my path. I've been mentoring career and pre-service teachers for 5+ years, and I absolutely love being a coach! I also love makeup, clothes, my family, and my dogs Kirby and Dougie! I love organizing, the color purple, educational technology, and creating strong bonds with my students. My inspirations are The Cult of Pedagogy with Jennifer Gonzalez, The Thinker Builder with Michael Freirmood, and SmartieStyle with La Tawnya Robinson on Youtube.
