I have a BS in Interdisciplinary Studies with concentrations in Communication and Business Admin. My minor is in Conflict Analysis and Dispute Resolution.  I have been homeschooling for two years, as well as a teacher in our co-ops. For the last 7 years, I have been a scout leader for both Cub Scouts and Girl Scouts. I was a team manager for Destination Imagination for 5 years. I also have experience with learners who may have learning disabilities and neuro-divergent learners.
