About Me
Two Decades of Classroom Expertise, Now Dedicated to Your Homeschool Success.
Hello! I'm a 20-year veteran teacher and an educational consultant specializing in the unique needs of the homeschool community. I've spent two decades mastering the art of curriculum, instruction, and student engagement—and now I bring that expertise directly to your homeschool classroom.
If you’re feeling overwhelmed by curriculum materials, unsure about standards, or struggling to create a consistent daily rhythm, you’ve found your solution. My mission is to give you the structure and confidence you need to make homeschooling less stressful and infinitely more rewarding.
My Philosophy revolves around Intentional & Meaningful Growth
I believe true learning prioritizes both academic rigor and profound personal growth. I help you to discover the natural synergy between the two, ensuring every lesson is focused and relevant.
Children should never wonder, "Why are we doing this?" For this reason, my approach is always tailored, highly engaging, and anchored in real-world impact.
How I Support Your Family:
I provide clear, comprehensive services that solve your toughest homeschool challenges:
Curriculum Clarity & Alignment:
- I create Standards-Aligned Curricular Units and comprehensive schedules that keep your child on target and accelerate achievements.
Consistent Routines & Habits:
- I design personalized daily schedules and learning strategies that fit your family’s unique rhythm, making homeschooling smoother and more enjoyable.
Personalized Enrichment:
- Together, we move beyond the core by identifying your child’s unique learning style. You will receive a personalized document outlining high-impact local programs aligned with their passions (from STEAM to Creative Arts, Music, and Physical Fitness).
