I am a home school mom of 3. I've been homeschooling since 2007, when my oldest started kindergarten. I've taught many classes to homeschooled kids through different co-ops and online. 
I teach various classes in history, social studies, math, programming, and zen doodling. I have been Zentangling and drawing mandalas for about 10 years.

I  have a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science and a Master’s Degree in Education with a focus on Instructional Technologies. I was a software engineer before making the move to stay home and homeschool my kids.
