Are you an educator or a parent already homeschooling?How do you decide on a curricula? How much should a kid be reading? When do you look for referrals for learning support? What if you feel totally unprepared to teach science? Can you still homeschool?Welcome! I am here to collaborate with educators and parents who want to examine their approaches and develop the best strategy for their students. I help you evaluate the whole picture as an educator, thinking critically about setting goals and reaching them through curricular research, evaluation, and recommendations; locating resource or personnel gaps on your educational team and collaborating to fill them.

About Me

A life-long fascination with teaching, instructional design, and alternative education prompted me to choose both my M.A. and PhD. programs for their strong pedagogy training.My background includes eight years of university teaching and design, time working in private elementary school, public high school, in multiple university writing centers, private tutoring, high school tutoring, and an appointment as a graduate writing coach.I was homeschooled K-12, and have since been a student in private and public institutions, as well as taught across public and private universities, from Kentucky to New York City, serving underresourced urban and rural populations. As an educator, I have not only remained abreast of shifts in education, but have learned to design and evaluate curricula, teach many different populations of learners in different settings, and think through the strengths and weaknesses of many educational structures.This range and depth of educational experiences has positioned me uniquely to help parents and guardians evaluate the education their child is receiving, holistically consider how effective and well-integrated it is into the community, adapted to the student's specific needs and interests, and consider the quality and design from an educator's perspective.I am deeply invested in assisting parents and guardians who are considering alternative education with researching local opportunities in their budget, writing out their short and long-term goals, matching their semesterly and annual plans to support those goals, and evaluating the quality of various curricula as well as how it's strengths and weaknesses map onto the student's needs.
