Expertise

I can answer questions about pros and cons, socialization, statistics, methods, curriculum, support, activities, and homeschooling preschool. I cannot answer specific questions about homeschool laws, but I can point you in the right direction. Deciding to homeschool is one of the BEST decisions I've made as a parent, and I would love to share my knowledge with you!

Experience in the area

I am homeschooling mom of three. I am so passionate about encouraging others to homeschool that I created a website that gives free information to new and experienced homeschoolers!

I graduated summa cum laude from The University of Texas at Dallas.

What do you like about this subject?

Homeschooling gives children and families an opportunity to thrive. My homeschool motto is, "Every child flourishes in the right environment!"

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

I would like to continue learning more about specific laws and requirements for each state, and learn more about international homeschooling.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

Statistically, homeschoolers outperform public school students both academically and socially.
