How long have you been with MODG? Since the beginning, 26 years.

What was your first job with MODG? Consultant

What did you expect to be when you grew up? A mother and an entertainer.

In hindsight, what would you say prepared you the most for your current job?
Training in high school on economics and reading about the Reformation after I got my degree in Economics from UCLA. And after homeschooling my own six children for 30 years.

How did you handle being a homeschool mom and teaching LS classes? Luckily by the time I started teaching, I only had one high schooler left and I did not teach that many classes. My son did most of his work on his own.

Do you have a favorite course? Both of my classes, Advanced American Government & Economics and Medieval History are my favorites. They are all I teach.

What do you think is the most challenging thing about being a teacher? Keeping up with students’ questions and emails.

What would you consider the highlight of your job? I love being in the class sessions with the students. I like to explain things to them and hear them explain things.

How do you compare MODG to other systems of schooling? I think the model of students doing their own independent reading and writing and then coming into a class discussion is great. It is a good model for learning.

What do you expect from your students? To do their reading. Pay attention in class and contribute as much as they can. I love teaching for MODG. It is the greatest.
