Fun Facts

I am a homeschooling mom to four boys! I am also a personal trainer and group exercise instructor. I enjoy hiking and reading in my free time, which doesn't seem to exist very often!

About Me

After teaching elementary school for four years, my husband and I began having kids, who I chose to stay home with instead of continuing full-time teaching. Nearly everything I enjoy takes me down the path of teaching. I had a great childbirth experience, so I got certified to teach childbirth education. I began to love fitness, so I became a certified personal trainer. I have been homeschooling my boys for 7 years with no end in sight since I still have a toddler at home as well!

Experience

I have worked as a teacher's assistant, doing many small group programs, both for remedial and accelerated learners. I have also taught in a self-contained third-grade classroom.

Approach

My main goal is to have a personal connection with each student, making them believe they are worthy of learning and deserve to be successful. I believe that a student must have an emotional connection to content for concepts to really "stick."
