About Me

Hi there! I’m a second grade teacher who is on a mission to restore balance to all areas of my life. As a teacher, I find that it is extremely common for life to be out of balance. When you are passionate about what you do, it is hard to “turn work off” after the day is done. This imbalance often leaves me feeling stressed and unable to give my best to my kids (students) and family. This sentiment seems to resound with most of the people I talk to in the education community. We have a hard time finding balance in our lives and then feel bad because what we are doing is less than the perfection we expect from ourselves. I started The Well Rounded Teacher to help others, by creating a place with tips, tricks, and ideas that can help you live a balanced lifestyle. On my weekly blog you will find posts about health, self-care, personal finance, spiritual renewal, and other thoughts and insights about what I am learning along this journey. I live in Washington with me golden retriever named Ruby. I love reading, making music, gardening, hiking, and sipping a great cup of coffee. Thanks for joining me and enjoy the journey!
