I'm a mother to four amazing adult children (18+). I was a stay-at-home mom for 13 years and have experience in homeschooling. I hold a Master's degree in Special Education, a Bachelor's degree in accounting, and volunteer as the lead coordinator for Children's Ministry in my church. I plan and direct a camp for children with special needs each summer. My children have special needs in varying degrees. I frequently volunteer in many avenues, all revolving around children. I am passionate about making sure that children are not just watched, but loved unconditionally.
