Bio

I am a mom to 3 AMAZING boys. My 2 youngest son's have special needs so I've decided to fully homeschool them with my own personal curriculum since I've been working with children for almost 20 years. I feel that I can give them the one-on-one focus they need. I've decided to go back to school, after being out for 12 years, so that I can pursue my passion of teaching. I'm on track to complete my Bachelor's 2 months before my 40th birthday. After 38 years of truly struggling to learn, I've recently been diagnosed with severe ADHD, anxiety, and a sensory processing disorder. I have also battled depression and PTSD most of my adult life, but I refuse to let that slow me down. I'm hard working and determined. I truly believe that the best way to teach my boys the importance of education and following their dreams is to lead by example.
