Educational experience spans birth through graduate level.
About Me
When I'm not working with families or students, you will find me researching educational policies, mixing audio tracks for clients, or talking to our 3 fur babies. (Since the vast majority of my work is performed in my home office, my hubby claims I can tell people I am merely having staff meetings with them.)
I am a lucky wife and a blessed mother of 2 adult children:
an Army musician and a graphic artist.
My Experience
...Is likely parallel to many educators who feel the need to serve students, families, and communities while bridled by
educational bureaucracy.
As such, I began a non-profit to help students and parents with limited resources be able to have school-choice opportunities by helping educators and parents create local learning pods and micro-schools:

...take it or leave it.
I search for purpose, not approval.
Those expecting humorless & stagnant commentary may not appreciate all that God made me to be (or not to be, but that is still in question).

...master of a FEW.
(Or is it mistress? Ma'am? Mother? Mentor? Some sort of alliteration that begins with "M"... )
Political correctness, however, is not necessarily one of "the few".
Looking to Serve...

Looking to Serve...
...GOD, above all things, of course; however, in order to do so, I must serve the needs of all those made in His image, to my best abilities.
He blessed me with gifts in musical arts and educational leadership, so I will begin with those.
HEALING THROUGH MUSIC & EDUCATION
On a serious note:
Your support and contributions will enable me to create music for younger generations and assist teachers and parents in creating local solutions for students to receive a higher quality of education.
Thank you for any donations and prayers you can spare to help this cause.
