In 2011, I began my teaching career as a substitute teacher.  Since then, I’ve had several roles including 1st grade general education teacher, 2nd grade general education teacher, and close adult support instructional assistant.

But, I knew my heart truly belonged in special education.  I started teaching inclusion in 2016 and I’ve never looked back!

I currently work in a Title 1 school with an extremely high poverty rate.  All of the students on my caseload are fully included in the general education classroom with their grade-level peers.

So, I know better than anyone how important it is to have materials that are accessible by all students.

My goal with Giraffic Jam is simple.  I want to create materials that are effective for every learner in your classroom, while making your job easier.  I know how time-consuming it can be to find and create resources that are ‘just right’ for your students.  Teachers are busy enough these days. I want to free up your time so you can focus on teaching, not creating resources.  When you purchase from my store, you know you are buying a resource from someone who is in the classroom and knows exactly what you need.

I love to connect with my customers!  Please let me know what I can do to help you and your students.
