Fun Facts

I am a mother of 3 boys, two of whom are in college and one who is an HS senior. I have 3 dogs—a German Shepherd, Husky, and Cav. King Charles Spaniel. I am an avid volunteer and currently interning at my local Alzheimer's Alliance.

About Me

I am currently working toward a BA in Psychology at the University of Texas at Tyler, and I am currently in my senior year with 4.0 GPA. I also love Art History which is my current minor.

Experience

As a homeschool teacher in Texas, I have extensive experience teaching and facilitating all core subjects and many electives in grades 2nd-12th. I created Oakwood Academy, our family’s homeschool, over 10 years ago. Oakwood Academy has achieved great success in preparing students not only for college but for life.
As a current Psychology major, I have broad experience and success in college-level writing and research. I am currently a senior with a 4.0 GPA.

Approach

As a homeschool teacher, I have diligently worked to bring out the best in my students, meet them at their current level, and help them achieve their goals by utilizing their strengths and interests. I have also enjoyed learning right beside them, when the need arose, and we worked to figure out the hard subjects together. Instilling a love of learning for learning’s sake has been my key homeschooling approach, because learning is lifelong. I greatly look forward to expanding my student-base!
