Additional biographical information
Hi, I’m Holly: a mom, writer, curriculum creator, and former public school teacher who began homeschooling after our family moved to Florida. Living near Walt Disney World has turned our backyard into an educational playground, where learning comes to life through curiosity, creativity, and adventure.
Homeschooling has been one of the most rewarding decisions I’ve ever made. I’ve loved curating curriculum that’s tailored to my daughter’s strengths and interests, and watching her reach new heights (both academically and personally). Her poetry was recently recognized by Orlando’s Poet Laureate and is currently on display at MCO, a moment that reminded me just how powerful personalized education can be.
When I’m not designing lessons, you’ll find me reading, writing, or exploring new places with my family. Please don't hesitate to reach out!
