The school year started as a whirlwind but a meaningful one. First in-person doctorate classes of the fall semester in the books. Balancing teaching + doctoral work is tough, but I'm growing. We got this!

This week’s PD = big changes. New programs and curriculum mean rebuilding my materials from scratch, but I’m looking at it as a reset. Excited to see what comes from it.

I spent way too much time today creating pieces for my door decor…and honestly, it was fun and made me happy.
Will the students care? Maybe.
Did I still go all out? Absolutely.
Why? Because this space has to bring me peace too.
