Teacher Bio:
I have been a homeschooling mom for 11 years. My kiddos are Aiden, a working adult/dad, Lily Kate, a 9th grader, and Jake, an 8th grader this fall. Before my daughter was born, I taught kindergarten in the public school system, but have also taught various other grades and in the private sector. My husband, Walker, and I have been married for 18 years. We love our church, The Journey, and are very active in the various ministry opportunities found there. We love playing board games and dreaming about the days when we used to have free time. Most of our ‘free’ time these days is spent driving our children to running club practices and ballet rehearsals.

I will record and post videos weekly to help students review their homework for the week.
