Hi, I am a college graduate from the California State University of Sacramento, or more commonly called Sacramento State. I am also a Professional Pixie, at Pixie Tribe! And I’ve been spending my time in quarantine developing this blog.

A few years ago, I was hired at an elementary school as a Team Lead for their After-School Education and Safety (ASES) Program to teach at-risk youth literacy, health and wellness, and social and emotional learning. About a month into working at ASES, the school asked me to join the Before School Program (BSP). During BSP, I was supposed to have a full year on nutrition lesson plans available to me, but after the first fourth months, my class completed the entire program. I quickly began working on a new series for my morning class to start: Environmental Science. I figured if I was going to have to spend my time outside of work developing educational lessons for students, I should use the time to review the basic science for my major and remind myself of ecological principles. I kept all these files on my laptop in hopes that one day I could create it into a book to provide with after school programs that would be similar to the nutrition one I had to use.

The second quarantine started; I knew what I had to do. I reread, re-researched, and rewrote all my lesson plans. I invested in supplies to make educational videos and worked to develop this interactive guide to help parents bring those extra activities kids are now missing into their home.
