Hello there! I'm Jane, the voice and storyteller behind You Can't Make
It Up Education.

As an educator, administrator, and passionate advocate for authentic learning experiences, I've embarked on a journey to redefine the education narrative. It’s time we started talking about the situations that are just too unbelievable to keep to ourselves!

My foray into education began with wide-eyed enthusiasm and a desire to make a difference. Little did I know that the path ahead would be peppered with moments so surreal, so unbelievably true, that they'd become the heart and soul of my professional narrative.

Over the years, I transitioned from the classroom into educational leadership, accumulating a wealth of experiences that shaped my perspective. From navigating the highs of great successes to facing the challenges that left me questioning my choices, each moment tells a story that needs to be shared. I’m guessing you have those stories, too. 

And so, You Can't Make It Up Education was born—a platform where real stories, emotions, and genuine growth take center stage. I believe in sharing the unfiltered reality of our educational experiences and fostering a community where we can all learn, laugh, and grow together. 

Sharing these collective experiences might be what keeps us going in the field of education, rising above the cumulative effects of those unbelievable situations that sometimes drag us to the point of extinction.

I'm not just the storyteller; I'm also here to listen. I invite you to share your "You Can't Make It Up" moments, engage in the conversation, and help build a community that celebrates the authenticity, resilience, and transformative power of shared experiences.

Together, we can navigate the highs and lows that leave us all shaking our heads, saying, “You Can’t Make It Up!”
