The fifth and final day of presentations is today. I’m fortunate to love what I do. As a former teacher, I’m able to create a few different options for schools to choose from.
Today will include two writing workshops which are always fun and never the same twice because each student is able to work on their own writing. I’m excited to see what happens.
Yesterday was my public event which included some former students, an author illustrator from my new promotion group, and some other wonderful people. More on that soon.
I'm a reading specialist and award winning educator from Chicago. While living in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado for nine years, I spent time hiking on the trails with my Goldendoodle Charlie and friends, writing, working in a literacy program at the Boulder Public Library, and mentoring writers and teachers. I love visiting schools. My books combine STEM and Kindness. "Aliana Reaches for the Moon" a picture book that draws inspiration from the moon and the curiosity of children, inviting children to be creative, explore, and experiment. "An Accidental Hero: A Mostly True Wombat Story" a picture book told in the form of a newscast which skillfully balances the serious subject of forest fires with compassion and humor to help children navigate this important topic through the real events of 2020. I moved to Northern New Jersey in 2025 and am working on new projects.
