Meet Lisa
I am a full-time first grade teacher passionate about teaching intentionally using research-based instruction where ALL students find success. I have been designing resources for my students for over twenty years and am excited for my resources to help maximize student learning and save you time!
I’m a midwestern girl who grew up in Minnesota and settled in Wisconsin after attending the University of Wisconsin-Madison (go Badgers!) where I met my husband. I received my Master’s degree from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee.
I love connecting with other teachers, so please reach out with any questions or feedback or even to introduce yourself. In this teaching profession, we sure need each other!
