Tell us a bit about yourself--a brief bio
I am a wife, a mother of six children ranging in age from 8-21, a violinist in my spare time (I make time for that!), and a follower of Christ, hopefully a servant of His. I homeschooled our older 4 children for 7 years and loved the classical approach, totally excited to discover it as the lost-treasure-finally-recovered that it is. I had maintained a violin teaching studio in the evenings, playing in various orchestras part-time, when the opportunity presented itself for me to teach academics at Acacia. At last I have found my true niche, and am passionate about teaching in a classical, Christian setting! I have many, many things to learn, but am thrilled to be walking this fascinating path and exploring the wonderful terrain of intellectual and spiritual inspiration, observing and mulling over conversation carried on through centuries by great minds.
