IEW Instructor

I am a homeschooling mother of five with a Master’s degree in Education, specializing in Early Childhood Education. Before homeschooling my own children, I spent many years teaching preschool, building a strong foundation in early learning and child development.

I have over a decade of experience teaching in homeschool co-ops, where I have led classes ranging from preschool through middle school. In addition, I taught English as a Foreign Language online to students in Asia for four years, gaining valuable experience working with diverse learners.

My children are currently ages 19, 17, 15, 12, and 10, and I have used IEW’s materials extensively in our home throughout their education. I have been a Registered Level Accredited IEW Instructor since March 2019 and am passionate about equipping students with strong writing and communication skills.

In addition to my work in education, I am a certified fitness professional. I teach water fitness, cardio kickboxing, and total body strength classes, and I am a certified LES MILLS BodyBalance instructor and personal trainer. I am also a lifeguard and swim instructor, teaching swim lessons to a wide range of ages and skill levels. Additionally, I teach homeschool classes at the YMCA, combining my passion for education and community involvement. My background in fitness and aquatics reflects my commitment to whole-person wellness and brings an energetic, encouraging dynamic to my teaching style.

Beyond academics, I have also previously been involved in church youth group, working with both middle school and high school students. I enjoy encouraging and mentoring students as they grow in confidence, skill, and character.
