First, I am a wife and mother. Britt and I were married in 2000, and were blessed with two wonderful boys, Tate and Clayton. In 2006, the Lord called me out of my dream job and into homeschooling. Homeschooling was one of the most difficult, yet most rewarding, experiences of my life. I have developed a passion for education and love learning myself; I intend never to stop. I love seeing students get inspired, I love seeing them surprise themselves, and I love encouraging them on to great things.

My oldest son is a part of the class of 2023 at Grand Canyon University (GCU) studying Computer Science and Cyber Security, while my youngest is part of the class of 2025 at GCU studying Graphic Design and Marketing. Lopes up!

I consider my role at 10:10 Academy as a service to the Lord and will strive to seek Him and please Him in everything I do here! I am here to help! Please let me know if you ever need anything!

First and foremost, I am a proud mother to a wonderful daughter, Isabella, who was homeschooled for eight years, graduated in 2020, and is now attending college. I was a single mother, having been widowed for 15 years, but am excited to report I recently married in 2021. My husband is amazingly supportive of our co-op and is often willing and ready to help.

My background is in business, specifically hotel management for 12 years and real estate for 17 years. However, in 2012, the Lord called me to take a leap of faith into homeschooling and I haven"t looked back since. It has been a wonderful experience for us, although we"ve had our highs and lows, as I"m sure you all have.

Through homeschooling I became aware of a previously undiscovered love for teaching students and mentoring teachers. After volunteering to teach one class my second year in a co-op, I was hooked. I taught additional classes and became more and more involved throughout the years. I am proud to have been a part of this organization since its inception as a teacher and in leadership.

I am honored to be the Academic Program Coordinator for 10:10 Academy and excited for what every year brings to our organization. I believe my role is that of a servant. I am here to help students, teachers, and families alike in their homeschool journey and in their experience at 10:10 Academy.

My Husband Ryan and I were married in 2000, and love mentoring the next generation to both love and serve the Lord. I am blessed to have been a part of the education community for many years, both public and private, and have homeschooled my own children since 2013. My oldest daughter Jordan has now graduated and is beginning her teaching journey here at 10:10! I have a son, Jeremiah, and another daughter, Emma, who both play travel sports.

One of my favorite things is to see students use their giftings and talents to the fullest. So, often you will see me busy about campus encouraging our students to be active in developing into who God has called them to be through community service and on-campus activities.

I love meeting new people, coffee, and I love serving our 10:10 community!
