Hi there! I'm Jettie Boirum, a Carnegie Mellon alumna who absolutely loves learning.... well I loved it so much that I went on to get my Master's in Elementary and Middle-Level Education from Seton Hill University.

Drawing on experience as a school teacher (and later a stay-at-home mom), I've used my expertise to create products for children and their caregivers. 

Since I was a little girl, I always dreamed of becoming a teacher. I used to ‘hold class’ in my childhood bedroom, use my closet door as a pretend chalkboard, and line stuffed animals along the floor to prep for class. Sometimes I even had my mom pretend to be a student. Well, until she started disrupting the class, and I had to send a note home to her mother (my Grandma Jettie) about her daughter’s behavior.

Yeah, I was that kid.

As I got older, however, I lost myself to other potential career paths, but they never really resonated with me. So, after a sucessful stint in the corporate world, I followed my heart and went into teaching. Honestly, that was all it took for me to understand that education was my path in life. So, here I am.

To help children beyond my own community, I’m turning key components of my curriculum into children's books and resources! I also create creative content for caregivers because we need to support each other too! It is my hope is to spark a lifelong interest in reading, learning and growing.  

I live in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania with my loving husband and amazing son, who appears in my first book. Oh, and of course my furbabies Luna and Chai — yes, they’re real!

To every learner out there (big and little), keep learning and growing. Thank you for being here!
