I have been a teacher for 10 years, working with students as young as pre-school and through college, and have been a home business owner for 3 years. I have used the Cricut for many different items in my shop, along with personal daily uses, and even in my classroom.

I teach simplistically to optimize learning in an explained step-by-step approach so users can follow along and complete the tasks with me.
