Michelle has been teaching children for over 20 years. She taught 8th grade math in Tacoma City, Washington (Stewart Middle School) for four years, then 6th & 7th grade math/science in Hanover County, Virginia (Liberty Middle School) for 5 years. Michelle has since been homeschooling her own as well as other children (co-op environment) for the last 16 years. In 2006, God put in her heart the desire to homeschool her children. She began teaching her eldest son in 8th grade and continued through his high school graduation. Her daughter and younger son are both graduates of Westminster Academy.

"As I move into this incredible role of assuming greater responsibilities, I do so with the assurance that this is God’s purpose for this season of my life – and the life of your children. I believe each and every one of them are incredibly powerful gifts from God; “Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one's youth.” Psalm 127-4. In this life of challenges and uncertainties, we have been explicitly charged to train up our children in the way that they should go (Proverbs 22:6). I am humbled and honored to assist you as parents in training up an Army for God."
