Mary Beth has over 18 years of experience teaching in a variety of public and private classroom/program/tutoring settings. She has worked in child development, teaching, running private school programs and being a part of school administration teams. She earned a B.S. from the University of Hawaii in Family Resources. She has worked with children of all ages and has a true passion to help each individual child. She is also a mother of 3 children who she is currently homeschooling due to multiple reasons; but mainly due to her children’s individual needs not being met. Each of her children has one or a combination of learning disabilities, ADHD, Autism, anxiety and more. As a community resource specialist Mary Beth has been on all sides of the equation; parent, teacher and special education specialist. Due to this she is extremely committed to meet the specific needs of each family and child. She is committed to helping guide families in the right direction to receiving evaluations, treatments, early interventions, medical needs, academic needs, school options, homeschool curriculum options and so much more. In her spare time she enjoys spending time with her children and family, adventuring in the outdoors and playing an active roll in supporting her husband (and community) as a police officer/military vet through different volunteer organizations.
