I'm a been-there-done-that teacher. I've been a public educator for over 13 years fighting for scraps to pay my bills. I've stayed up late nights and early mornings working on a side hustle to make ends meet. I'm a transitioned teacher who found happiness, wealth and success outside of the classroom. If any of these resonate with you, we should connect. I share all of my been-there-done-that tips, tricks, tools and resources to help educators in and out of the classroom spark passion and joy, no matter where you are headed. Welcome.
