TEACHING EXPERIENCE

Hi, I'm Caitlin! I started my teaching journey in 2012 after receiving a master's in English education. I have taught middle school and college-aged writing courses. As a writer and artist, I aspire to create creative resources that spark an interest in learning. What brings me the most joy is being able to help hard-working teachers like you. I hope you find my lessons both engaging and easy to follow. I genuinely appreciate every purchase and strive to provide you with something you and your students will love! Thank you for all that you do! "Your first drafts are never YOUR BEST DRAFTS!"
