I'm Nicole. I am an elementary turned middle school teacher. I spent the first several years of my career in the primary grades, which gave me a strong foundation in literacy and intervention that has proven invaluable in the upper grades. I have taught all grade levels K-8, and after thinking I would never leave my beloved 5th grade, I have found my home in 6-8 grade middle school ELA.

After living and teaching in California and Utah, my family has landed on the beautiful Southern Oregon Coast. When I'm not teaching or at the beach, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading, hiking, and playing piano.
