MEET THE TEACHER
Calling all middle school math and Algebra 1 teachers tired of staying up late to recreate lessons so all of your students can actually learn…
There’s a better way.
Let me show you!
LET’S BE HONEST
The curriculum you were handed does NOT work for most kids in your class
How do I know?
Because I felt the same struggle over my 12 years of teaching self-contained special education, co-teaching in general ed classrooms, and offering pull-out services.
And I know that every time a student fails or says, “I’m bad at math!” it feels like a personal failure.
But the answer can’t be spending your nights and weekends creating 15 separate lesson plans to address all the different skill levels and needs in your classroom.
I created the scaffolded resources and differentiated practice you need to help every student access + learn in your class.
Let's Work Together!
THE WHY BEHIND EVERYTHING I DO
I know how important it is for resources to be helpful + effective
I’m the proud mom of two awesome boys. One of my sons is autistic, so I’ve learned first-hand how crucial it is for teachers to have ways to help him learn and grow alongside his classmates.
I want his teacher to have the best support and resources so she can give him what he needs each day. As a mom and a teacher, I also know just how stressful it can be to try and be there for a room full of kids with different needs.
When I began creating math resources, I started with everything I wish I had been given when I was in the classroom. Now I continue creating high-quality, valuable tools for teachers because I don’t want you to ever feel alone, burned out, or unable to meet a student right where they are.

👩🏽🍳 I love to cook
My family is from the Dominican Republic and I lived in Asia during undergrad, so I crave bold, delicious flavors. I probably make dumplings at least twice a week.
🤓 I’m a huge Sci-fi nerd
Battlestar Galactica is my all-time favorite.
☕️ Coffee is my love language
I may or may not indulge in an espresso right before bed. It’s the ideal dessert!
