Hey, there!

Hey, there!

I'm Ha and I'm a primary teacher, author, education content creator, presenter, and mom who loves to travel with her family!

As an educator of 16 years, I believe in hands-on,  meaningful, and engaging instruction.  I love sharing my teaching ideas and resources and being able to connect with teachers and parents all around the world!

As an author, I write stories to inspire children to find their own voice, share their own experiences, and make an impact with their stories. I'm excited to publish my debut picture book, WHERE WILDFLOWERS GROW, in June 2023 with Penguin Random House and another one in 2025!

Welcome, and I hope you stay for a while!
