Next Steps: Paths After High School

Teaching / Education background: 

In homeschooling my own children, teaching time management and organizational skills is a must from an early age. Additionally, as an online instructor for University, I am constantly reinforcing time management and organizational skills in order to be successful in an online environment. I have also designed and taught self-directed learning classes which focus on having students get to know themselves as learners and finding a skill set that works for them. 


I have twenty plus years of successful experience in teaching, curriculum development, and support of new teachers in various communities and at various grade levels. These communities include both the military and civilian sectors. Grade levels include elementary, secondary, and graduate. Currently, I am an adjunct faculty member, teaching courses for teacher preparation as well as Masters courses  at National University. I also have been homeschooling my own children for the past 15 years. 

I have a Master of Education with an emphasis in Curriculum and Instruction from San Diego State University and a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the same University. I additionally hold a Professional Clear Multiple Subject Teaching Credential (CLAD) from National University with a Supplementary Authorization in Art.
