This Oregon native, wife, mother of 5, and former public school teacher was recently named to Forbes 30 under 30 in Education. She is co-founder of Dailies, an online learning platform that offers small group classes, personalized instruction, real-time reporting, and micro-learning engaging activities, as well as homeschooling resources. In addition to co-founding and leading Dailies as the CEO, she is also a product and educational consultant supporting educational organizations across the globe as they seek to make an impact for learners, teachers, and parents. Her company has served more than 15,000 families in 30 countries and is valued at more than $5 million.

“I am a lifelong learner with 3 Masters degrees (Curriculum and Instruction, Special Education, and Business Management and Leadership) and am wrapping up my MBA this year too. I am passionate about helping parents connect with their children around learning and am always looking for ways to take advantage of the little learning moments that happen in real life.”

She’s a lover of iced coffee, online shopping, and traveling. She also said when she’s not working, you can find her at the ball field cheering on her oldest 3 boys, or snuggled up at home watching a movie or playing a game with the kids. She homeschools her two oldest through Dailies and travel frequently to all sorts of places in the US which she said gives them LOTS of family time.

“Our family is also very engaged in our church, Venture Church, where my husband and I serve in the toddler room every Sunday and we host House Church every Wednesday throughout the school year. Would love to have new friends join us for a meal and fellowship!

When asked to share one piece of advice with all the mamas out there, she said: 

One piece of advice would be that nobody is perfect and has it all together- no matter how things may look from the outside. We will all make mistakes with our kids, spouse, job, etc. and expecting perfection just sets us up for disappointment. Focus on seeing the good that you are doing for your family and community each day/week, even if you don't feel like you are doing "enough", because it is.
