I am a social studies educator with a passion for personal finance. I am certified to teach economics, and have a strong knowledge in debt reduction strategies, budgeting and saving. Over the past few years I have educated myself on the principles of Financial Independence and our family is now debt free! I wish someone had shared more financial tips with me when I was younger and I am excited about sharing what I have learned with you! 

I have taught a variety of social studies courses in both the traditional classroom and online environment for over 13 years. I love making history come to life through first hand accounts, images and stories. While my background is in middle and high school education, I have worked with younger (and older) learners as well. As a homeschooling mom of two (ages 5 and 8) I love the Outschool concept and how it enables teachers to personalize learning for all!

Having fun while we learn is so important! I focus on keeping the classroom environment accepting of all students while delving into these important topics.

There is no homework assigned for this class. Learners will be given a template that they can edit to track their finances as well as suggestions as to how to talk with their parents about allowance and paying for college. Learners can reach out to me with questions anytime before and after the class. 

1 hour 5 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
