With a Bachelor of Arts in Communications, English, and Spanish from the University of Mount Union, along with TESOL, TEFL, and a teaching license from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, I bring a well-rounded and effective approach to teaching. I specialize in teaching writing, grammar, and reading, helping students develop the skills they need to communicate clearly and confidently.

My classes focus on empowering learners to:  
- Craft vivid, imaginative stories  
- Build strong grammar foundations

I’ve had the privilege of being recognized as an ACE and EPIC Exemplar Outschool teacher and am proud to be the original Outschool Pokémon-themed writing professor.

Beyond my credentials, my teaching is enriched by a unique blend of personal and professional experiences. As both a homeschooling mom and a global educator, I spent 20 years living in the jungles of Central America, honing creativity, adaptability, and resourcefulness. These skills translate into engaging lessons that make learning memorable. Whether through storytelling, hands-on activities, or critical thinking challenges, I aim to spark curiosity and confidence in every student. Additionally, I’ve had the honor of leading professional development workshops for Outschool educators, sharing strategies to enhance engagement and inspire students.

My classes operate under the 'Limited' refund policy. Learners can withdraw with a refund up to a week before class starts or within 24 hours of purchase. Refunds are not given for withdraws outside this window, but transfers may be requested before class begins.  

According to Outschool Policy: If you miss a class, you cannot get an automatic refund.  However, learners may be transferred to the first available section at the teacher’s discretion, and a recording may be available. 

Class No Shows:
If your learner has not joined the class meeting 10 minutes after the start time, the meeting may be canceled, at the teacher’s discretion.  Class no-shows are considered a missed sessions, and you are not entitled to a refund. If possible, I will record a class video and make it available in our classroom.

Late to Class:
If your learner joins a class late, please note that I will do my best to keep the late student up to speed. However, I will not re-teach missed portions of the class. Your student will access our classroom video for review and to complete any missed work. Please contact me with questions as your learner completes their missed work.

Classroom Management:
Classroom behavior expectations are addressed at the beginning of each session. Learners in the majority of my writing courses will participate in group brainstorming sessions. Mics remain on during this portion of the class. Students are encouraged to participate at their comfort level. As we enter the writing stage of the class, mics are muted as needed.  I believe an engaged learner actively learns by asking questions, seeking feedback, and inquiring about the writing process.
