I’m The Woodshop Nerd—your quirky, tool-savvy guide to mastering home maintenance and DIY projects without losing your mind (or your weekend).

As a mom of four and a proud homeowner, I know the joy—and the chaos—of tackling home projects, whether it’s painting a room, building furniture, or solving those “surprise” house quirks that pop up when you least expect them. Over the past decade, I’ve honed my skills as an educational theatre director, managing set builds, wielding tools, and troubleshooting endless project hiccups. Trust me, I’ve made every mistake in the book, and I’m here to help you skip a few of them.

Through my content, I’ll help you find your confidence in tool usage and home maintenance with witty, approachable, and relatable advice. Whether you’re hanging your first shelf or braving the power tools aisle, I’ll guide you every step of the way, making sure the process is as fun as it is empowering.

Let’s break it down, one project at a time, and transform “I can’t do that” into “Look what I did!”

So grab your goggles, your favorite retro playlist, and let’s make homeownership a little less intimidating and a lot more awesome. Welcome to the journey—let’s get nerdy!
