I offer Catholic Homeschool Consulting rooted in Church teaching, educational wisdom, and a deep love for the family.

"Help Me Homeschool - Where Do I Start?"

If you’re saying, “I want to homeschool, but I don’t know how,” let’s talk. I’ll work with you on every step, including:

  • How to get started homeschooling
  • Setting up your home for learning
  • Choosing the right Catholic curriculum
  • Creating a daily rhythm that you can stick to (and adapt as needed!)

Get help with Homeschooling That Fits Your Family

Every family is different - and your homeschool should reflect that. Together, we'll design a home education plan that glorifies God and works with your real life:

Your children's unique needs

No matter the number, ages, or stages of your children, we will work together to tailor curricula and a schedule that fits your family's needs

Your family's values and rhythms

I will help you prioritize prayer time, family bonding, and academics into your school day

Your spiritual and academic goals

Our number 1 priority is to help our spouse and children get to heaven! Once this is at the center of our plans, we can tailor our academic goals to align with this goal
