Who I Am

As a second-generation homeschooler and mother of fierce daughters, homeschooling is my heritage, my daily life, and my labor of love.

Homeschooling has shaped my life from the very beginning—first as a student, then as a parent, and now as a professional serving the homeschooling community.

My work spans authorship, editing, curriculum development, writing instruction, and consulting, all grounded in a vision of education that is personal, flexible, and empowering. I believe in the strength of non-traditional education and the capacity of parents to lead their children’s learning journeys.

My Professional Experience

Consutant

I work with homeschooling families, and the businesses that serve them, with one goal in mind—to chart the path that makes homeschooling successful for them.

Writer & Editor

From ghostwriting articles to authoring curricula and everything in between—the nuts and bolts of my work is longform writing and editorial know-how, specific to the homeschooling niche.

Instructor

I specialize in high-impact writing instruction that builds both skills and confidence. My approach combines structured support with affirming feedback to equip students to think critically and communicate effectively.

My Personal Experience

My own journey began when my mom made the brave decision to homeschool me long before it was a common choice. That decision shaped not only my education but also my identity as a lifelong learner. For me, homeschooling is not simply something we do—it is the way we live, a lifestyle built on curiosity, independence, and growth.
