About Me:
After being raised in a suburb of Cleveland, I attended Cleveland State University in conjunction with M.B.Johnson School of Nursing where I graduated in 1986. During this period I met and married my amazing husband, Jim, and we soon had our first son.  As a registered nurse, I quickly found employment as an intensive care nurse, yet I yearned to be home. I thought working in less stressful settings would appease this desire so I left the hospital and accepted a position as a nurse manager of an outpatient clinic and did home healthcare. Although I enjoyed serving people through my vocation, God began to show me that my priority was to use my skills to serve my family, and even more specifically, to home educate my children.

While our home-schooling journey began in Ohio, where it was extremely unpopular and highly regulated, my husband’s job led us to Michigan, where we have enjoyed home-schooling freely our four children on a small farm in Perry. After 20 years of home-schooling, my oldest is now a graduate of Cornerstone University, married and employed by the State of Michigan. My second son is a graduate of Cedarville University with a B.S. in chemistry and currently employed by Fed Ex in Phoenix. My oldest daughter is a junior at Spring Arbor University majoring in public relations and advertising. My second daughter is in tenth grade. All of my children have been involved in Teenworks and I know it has contributed greatly to their success personally and in the college setting.  We are active members of Cornerstone Church in Okemos where we are involved in many ministries.  My husband and I also volunteer as 4-H leaders. We operate a small swine farm and enjoy raising and showing show pigs and lambs in state and national competitions. I enjoy working with youth of all ages and I look forward to the privilege of serving families at Teenworks.
