Hello, I’m Becca...

a passionate educator who has dedicated ​the past decade to nurturing young minds ​both in the classroom and nannying in ​households. Beyond my educational ​background, I discovered my love for ​creativity through cake decorating. Eager ​to expand my impact, I am now ​embarking on a new journey into Learning ​Experience Design, where I aim to ​leverage my teaching expertise and ​imaginative flair to create engaging and ​effective learning environments. With a ​unique combination of teaching, childcare, ​and artistic skills, I am ready to change the ​way we approach education and learning ​experiences.
