 Hello! I am excited to continue my journey tutoring for the Jon Peterson Scholarship. I taught as a special educator for 7 years out of college but felt a tug at the heartstrings to resign and homeschool my 5 children.  I currently have 3 of the my children at the public school (ages 18, 16, 14), and teach my 2 boys at home (ages 11, ðŸ˜Ž. I was blessed to be trained in Orton Gillingham in college, and am excited to see these new programs on the market.  I enjoy the outdoors and the adventures we have on our cattle farm!  I look forward to another great year of learning! Below is a picture from Summer 2023 with my family at the Cliffs of Moher in Ireland (my mom's birthplace). My children got to on an airplane ride for the 1st time, and got to meet family as well.

Hello there, I'm Lily! I am a licensed K-5th Elementary teacher and a Reading Specialist here at Bright Minds Solutions. I have worked in suburban, urban, rural, online, and homeschool settings with grades K-8th over the last 5 years. I was homeschooled and earned my bachelor's degree online in less than two years.

I loved homeschooling and have a passion for helping families have a positive experience with their homeschooling journey as well. I am so excited to be a part of Bright Minds and I can't wait to help your child to soar! I am currently living at home with my family and our 80 chickens and ducks, but will soon be married to my wonderful fiance'. I can't wait to learn more about you!
