A woman striving to leave the world a better place through education, love, and kindness. @Milken Educator celebrating, elevating and activating my passion ♥️
What happens when you bring together veteran Teachers of the Year, Milken Educators, and new teachers for three intense days?
Magic.
We talked about how we can turn our real experiences into the tools necessary to equip teachers for a lifelong, joyful career in the classroom. ♥️
New chapter. New school. Same heart. 💛 I’m teaching 5th grade ELA at Pleasant Grove (WITH my own daughter in 5th too 🤯).
Here’s to fresh starts, wild dreams, brave moves & doing what’s best for your peace. ✌️ #CenterGroveBound#FreshStart#TeacherMama
Indiana Milken Educators recently partnered with Butler University to connect with, inspire and sustain an AMAZING group of future educators- I am loving this initiative 💙 @Milken@butleru@IndianaMilken

At recess today one of my students said “yay the normal weather’s back” I asked “what do you mean” and she replied “you know… it’s not cold anymore” I didn’t have the heart to tell her it’s February in Indiana and this was just a tease… ♥️
Just reflecting again on how amazing it was to support our new Indiana @Milken recipient. The best gift that comes from this award is the connection that is built with passionate people who become family. I’m definitely feeling bright as we head into this holiday season.🎄♥️
“It’s the most wonderful time of the year” and the perfect time of year to welcome a new @Milken educator to the @IndianaMilken family! It felt like Christmas being apart of this special day ♥️🎄
In this episode we have an AMAZING teacher leader... or should I say teacher cheer leader, @reflectiverae Dr. Estes! Her enthusiasm for education is contagious, we loved talking to her as she shared some words of wisdom & her love for teachers! youtu.be/nRaCRc71X5U
We are back for ssn 2 of our Because I had a Teacher podcast. Ep. 1 features a Perry grad who has gone on to play & coach basketball! @MaxLandis shares the impact teachers & coaches have had on him as he inspires these ss to chase after their dreams. youtu.be/VwsB1AHv0jE
It was an honor to be recognized as a #PAEMST semi-finalist today. I am blessed to be surrounded by people who see something in me and I promise to use this energy to pay it forward in education. Here’s to continuous learning, growing and making a difference! #educationmatters
Feeling proud of @perrytwpschools and proud of my @Milken family for authentically showing up to support our future educators at @uindy this morning. I hope after today these young teachers feel inspired and supported 💙
Runners inspiring runners. Thanks @SouthportMiddle for hosting our elementary athletes tonight. I know this partnership has shaped some future XC runners ♥️ #perryproud
This. ♥️
As teachers are we just dumping in more and more information or are we using discourse, feedback and practice to strengthen neurological pathways? #NCTMCHI24
As a classroom teacher it can be hard to find your voice. I feel so blessed to work in a place where I get to do what I love and be a leader at the same time. I will always be an advocate for students ♥️#NCTMCHI24#NCTM
First night of Perry’s running club. I love that our Perry Middle school runners partner up and coach our elementary students to inspire an appreciation of running.🏃🏻♀️ #perryproud@PMFalconSports
Spent tonight surrounded by so much TALENT and PASSION as Indiana honored the excellence of so many amazing educators- feeling extra blessed that we had a Milken Meetup and saw our newest Indiana Millken family members receive their gorgeous Obelisk ♥️
