I graduated from the University of Kentucky #bbn with a B.A. in Psychology, and decided immediately upon graduation that I wanted to go back to school to pursue my dream to be a teacher. I have both my B.A. in Elementary Education and M.A. in Teacher as a Leader from Northern Kentucky University. I started my teaching career in kindergarten in 2008, and then went on to teach first grade and provide support as a K-5 interventionist.

While in the classroom, I found myself constantly searching for materials that were educational, creative, and engaging. The supplied curriculum kept falling short, so I began to create my own supplemental curriculum. My students loved learning with them and I love teaching with them. I began to share my classroom happenings on the internet – first on the original Babbling Abby personal blog and then on The Inspired Apple. In 2011, I was introduced to Teachers Pay Teachers where I began selling my materials to educators across the globe.

Though I’m not currently in the classroom, I absolutely love being able to support teachers and students with the same style of engaging and inspiring activities I used in my own classroom. I have been blessed with the opportunity to present to educators across the country, and currently serve as the parent representative on the Site Based Council at my son’s high school. I hope that I am able to convey my love for learning and teaching through this site.
