I am a graduate of Purdue University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Elementary Education with a minor in Early Childhood Education. Since graduation I have spent time teaching in public and private school classrooms, for a total of 13 years, have taught with homeschool cooperatives and homeschooled my own children for 5 years, and have recently earned a Master's in Theological Studies. I have a passion for learning and love to pass that along to my students. My most favorite subjects are math and English. I love the way that math is logical and follows an order of operations. English is interesting to me because I am an author and I love using words to describe what I want to communicate.
