Meet the Teacher

I got my bachelor’s in English from Auburn University, a Master’s degree in education from Trevecca, and began my teaching career as a high school teacher certified in English and history. 

When my oldest was born, I left public schooling behind. We began homeschooling when she was four. We were unsure of whether it would work but God made the path clear to us so we took the plunge. As I write this, we are heading into our eighth year! 

Homeschooling has given us the gift of more time together, educations tailored to the hearts and needs of my girls, and flexibility to volunteer, travel, and participate in many beautiful communities. I have long believed that to truly cultivate wisdom and faith that lasts, school, home, and church must be speaking with the same voice. Homeschooling is a great way to make that triangle a straight line.  

Learning about the traditions and philosophies of classical education has been lifechanging for me and my family. It has provided a gorgeous depth to not only our knowledge but to our faith and characters as well. Learning from ideas that have endured for millenia is a refreshment in an age where novelty and restlessness reigns. The peace that they provide are a comfort and inspiration.  

As you can probably tell, I care deeply about classical learning and I am always looking for ways to share that with others. In the past that has taken many different forms: teaching a wide array of subjects at co-ops and tutorials; working with other homeschooling parents to evaluate, plan, and organize curricula or methodologies; tutoring students who need extra support; geeking out with a group about Dante, Boethius, and Homer; and more.
