I have a bachelor’s degree in social work and was a Navy Corpsman for 8 years. My mom life has consisted of MULTIPLE moves, and I’m so thankful the Lord opened the doors wide open to homeschooling in the midst of them. It has been the most challenging yet rewarding undertaking of my life. During our time as a military family, I served and wore many hats, including assisting in coordinating MC wife’s groups, family events, and countless going away and homecoming celebrations. I started a preschool and Mommy and Me play groups at the base community center to give weary moms a place to connect and have a break. I was an American Heritage Girls leader, AWANA leader, and a tutor for Classical Conversations. I’ve served in multiple roles at the numerous churches the Lord has blessed us to be a part of over the years. However, my most cherished role has been wife, mom, and daughter of the Most High King.
Now that my life is less filled with activities and events, you will find me planning my next road trip, geeking out on the latest health and wellness research, and trying to figure out how to grow and harvest ALL the things, all while blasting a podcast or hopping on Zoom for a Bible study or two with my girlfriends from afar. I’m currently studying to be a Functional Diagnostics Nutrition Practitioner and I offer Pulse Electromagnetic Frequency sessions at the local nutraceutical shop I work at part-time.
I'm grateful to be able to serve our MOCC families as the Library Trustee during my final year of homeschooling and look forward to offering any assistance I can.
