But before we get to that, let’s bring the focus back to the real hero here: YOU (yes, you!)

Are ya with me?
To give you the tools to ride
these tidal waves of change and
create the life for yourself and
your family that you’ve always
dreamed of.
my mission
The education system is
transforming faster than a teenager
during a growth spurt
Real life
All over the world.
Because the only thing that lights me up more than empowering children to read… Is empowering teachers like YOU to take control of your life and create some much deserved FREEDOM — all while helping more students, teachers, and parents.
Don’t get me wrong, I loved teaching in the classroom. But when I discovered the secrets to growing a teacher business that lasts — I knew I had to step out of the classroom and do everything I could to help you do the same. My mission is NOT to pull you from the classroom, but to empower you to step into your truth - whatever that might be.
+ Stressed out and overworked.
+ Giving everything I had to my students and school.
+ Spending my evenings marking papers. And my mornings planning classes.
+ Wishing I had more time for my babies and husband.
+ All while living off of our credit cards and wondering where my next student loan payments were coming from.
Because I’ve been where you are…
I help teachers just like you learn to leverage their teaching skills, existing expertise, and huge hearts so they can build a profitable and purposeful online teacher business.
Hard working, big hearted, coffee and flair pen fueled superstar in a cardigan. You became a teacher to make a difference. To help raise and prepare the next generation of world changers...to change the world one student - one school day at a time.
How I went from mountains of debt and barely paying my Netflix bill to 7-figure CEO Teacher
you might be wondering...
No matter what I was going through on the inside. They helped me be my best self.
And I was afraid to ask for help.
I discovered TPT when I was going through a dark night of the soul. I was anxious, suffering from deep postpartum depression, and so much financial stress.
I had nothing left to give to my students, my family, or myself. And I barely had the energy to get myself to school. Let alone plan all of the lessons, create all of the worksheets, and figure out how to make learning fun for my students.
The resources I found on TPT helped me show up for my students and be the best teacher I could be.
I never imagined I’d one day be helping thousands of other teachers become the CEOs of their own teacher businesses.
When I first started selling my teaching resources online, I didn’t even know how to create a sellable worksheet, let alone an editable PDF or digital resource.
You should have seen me struggle to make my first resource in Microsoft Word 😂 (Hot tip… Use PowerPoint, friend!)
That so many of my students would double their teaching incomes (lots of them within a year of starting their own online teacher biz).
And that some of them would become 6-figure CEO Teachers in their own rights.
I started selling my resources to give back (and to pay my Netflix bill #startsmall)
Then when I made $50 that first month on TPT? That’s when I realized that…
The best is yet to come!
That $50 was just the beginning…
By year three I had made → and learned from ← all sorts of mistakes and almost tripled my teaching income.
Which is why I knew I had to go all in and I decided to leave the classroom so I could study with online business masters. I decided to take all of the lessons and teachings I’d learned along the way to create the world’s only online business programs and coaching memberships made especially for teachers:
Here’s a peek
at how I made it
happen and you can too!
