Fun Facts

I am the youngest of eight girls. I love hiking, crafting, and gardening. I dream of owning a farm that encompasses teaching the community, especially kids, about the value of food and how it affects our health.

About Me

I am currently a homeschooling mom who has volunteered and worked in many settings for over 20 years, with students from preschool to adults, helping them grow, and using their personal learning styles and interests to accomplish their greatest potential.

Experience

I have volunteered for 20+ years in an Elementary School setting. I have homeschooled not only my own kids but others in grade level through middle school. I have worked in a college setting where I taught preschool and met one on one with adult students to help support their own learning and advancement.

Approach

I am fortunate to have grown up in a household with an unschooling approach to school. This approach taught me I can be in charge of my own learning and that with the effort I can learn how to do anything. I also had some amazing mentors along the way that never assumed that because I was a certain age I wasn't ready or capable of certain learning. They were willing to teach me where I was at. I too, strive to incorporate these philosophies into my teaching by meeting students where they are at.
