Educational Counseling:
I am often approached for homeschooling advice. As much as I love helping, it takes quite some time to sincerely and thoroughly discuss an issue. I want to make sure that I give you advice that is in depth and personalized. I am always available to help you plan your child's education if you are a CLP family. If you would like advice and are not a CLP family, I am available for an hourly fee. I homeschooled both of my daughters and my eldest graduated from Cal State Long Beach on a full ride academic scholarship. We mutually decided that school was the best fit for her in 6th grade and she went to a fully funded NPS (non public school) on an IEP. My younger daughter was homeschooled from K - 12th grade and she graduated from UCLA.
I have been a teaching artist since 1989 and I specialize in the art of storytelling. I have taught in numerous schools and universities for both children and adults. I also teach teachers how to bring curriculum to life through the art of storytelling. I am a published author and an award winning recording artist. In 2016 I went on my first international storytelling tour to China, Hong Kong and SouthKorea where I performed and taught at international schools. In 2018 I didmy second international tour in Peru where I performed and taught in 17 different schools and in 2022 I performed and taught in Argentina.
