About Me

Seeking Higher Ground…

I have been married to my best friend, Mike, for over 25 years; we live in Southern California and have three grown children. I started homeschooling when our oldest began kindergarten in 1994 and continued to homeschool all three up through high school. My homeschooling journey ended when our youngest graduated from high school in 2011.

During my years of homeschooling, I taught various classes for different homeschool programs and a few private classes in my home. Most of the classes I’ve taught have been upper elementary history classes and Jr. High and High School literature and composition courses. In 2000, I went back to school to finish my Bachelor’s degree, and in 2007 I graduated from Cal State Fullerton with a BA in English. After retiring from homeschooling, I continued to teach weekly classes and tutor, and to help my husband with his growing lawn care business, but now have a new full-time career as an administrative professional.

For those who want to know, I am a Christian of the Reformed Baptist persuasion, and our family is very involved in our church (an ARBCA member church). In my free time I love to explore new books, exercise, and watch movies with Mike or my mother-in-law who lives with us. We’re having fun getting back into rockclimbing again now that the kids are raised.

Special Thanks…

To God for my husband and three kids; for granting me the patience and diligence to teach them at home over the years; and for the many opportunities I’ve had to grow and learn through my teaching experiences.
