I am officially licensed to teach in the state of California!

Santa Catalina Island is a dream 💕

No one tells you how hard it’s going to be watching all your teacher friends head back to school but you’re still waiting on a call. Looking like I won’t be back in a classroom as hoped. Trying to see the bright side of this 😢

Interviewing and trying to get a teaching job in an overly populated and ideal location has been such a reality check for a little NC small town educator such as myself. BUT the more I interview the more experience, right?

Oh and for the record, I am truly envious of all my friends going back this past week and will be starting Monday. I wish I was there with all you beautiful people! Having a serious case of FOMO seeing y’all 💕 have an AMAZING school year!

As a military spouse, I don’t really understand the ins, outs, and politics of it. But I do know that when someone dies, it hits our whole community and we all are hurting for those lost. I’m new to this sort of culture but sending so much love to our community today.

When you find out the total cost of the 3 tests you need to take for your CA credential don’t even add up to one test for NC. NC do better for your teachers.

Excited to share that I am officially an online tutor for Prodigy! One of my absolute favorite platforms is now someone I get to work for!

Our favorite beach honoring those that had fallen just a few weeks ago ❤️

Thankful for weekday walks on the beach with my honey ❤️

One of my clients today is from North Carolina! I can’t wait to meet them!

I spent a good 30 minutes last night making a blueprint for our Halloween outdoor decorations. Our neighborhood has a TON of kids and I’m trying to put my childless, teacher talents to good use! I can’t wait for the final product!

I’m currently taking 11 credits for the next month and don’t know why I did this to myself 😅 all for my CA teaching license. The things us educators will do to just try to get back in a classroom!

Please, if you are an educator, scoop up this book and start reading. This has forever changed my teaching. California is changing me in ways I didn’t even think I needed until now 😭

As someone that works for this incredible company, this is AMAZING news! 😍

My favorite part of being a prodigy tutor? Meeting learners from all over the world!

Finally returning to a classroom! Taking over a fourth grade maternity leave position for dec-June. I am SO excited 😍

It’s been a while Twitter - been soaking in all my time back in a classroom and can honestly say it feels good to be back ❤️

Without a doubt, every year my students make it their mission to find my Twitter and YouTube 🤦🏻‍♀️

We took our students to the local park as a last day before break fun and my Behavioral Interventionist did henna for all the girls! 😍
