Teacher expertise and credentials
I have a degree in history from Columbia College and a Juris Doctorate from Ave Maria School of Law. I will be teaching history, civics, government and law related classes. I am a homeschooling mom and I love sharing my passion for these topics. I want students to realize these subjects are not just in the past, and boring book learning type subjects but are living topics that are interesting and exciting.
