Jill is wife and mama to two teenagers.....and a slew of other random kids who choose to call her "Mama Jill," which she feels is her greatest accomplishment. She has worked with kids in some capacity for the past twenty-plus years. Anything from a teacher at the local preschool to foster parent to youth leader. She has a BA in Art History, but the majority of her time is dedicated to teaching: homeschooling her own two kids and teaching in her local homeschooling community. Her passion in education is learning why the brain functions the way it does and then finding creative ways to teach kids that don't fit neatly into a typical learning style. Her biggest dream in life is to have a small school dedicated to those kids. Her greatest loves, other than people, are music, art, literature, and movies - in that order.
