Jen is the wife of a retired Air Force service member and currently lives in Texas. She began homeschooling her oldest child in 2010 while stationed in Virginia and has since led homeschool groups in Virginia, Ohio, and Texas. With each move, Jen remained committed to providing stability for her family and building community wherever they were planted. She has a deep passion for classical education and loves helping other families discover the rich opportunities homeschooling can offer.
Jen was introduced to Veritas Press Self-Paced courses in 2013 and began using Veritas Scholars Academy (VSA) live online classes in 2017. Her family quickly fell in love with the structure, biblical worldview, and academic excellence that Veritas provides. Her oldest daughter, Abby, graduated from VSA in 2025 with a full tuition scholarship for both academics and athletics to study Healthcare Science, along with direct admission to the UIW School of Osteopathic Medicine. Abby is also an NCAA Division I Diver. Jen credits much of this success to the flexibility, support, and academic preparation provided by Veritas, and often says her daughter couldn’t have achieved all of this without it. The younger four children are enrolled in live classes at Veritas Scholars and look forward to graduating in 2027, 2029, 2031, and 2033! As a family consultant, Jen enjoys guiding families through the curriculum options and helping them find the best path forward for their students’ success.
Jen earned both her Bachelor of Science and Master of Arts degrees from the University of Massachusetts. Because of her husband’s military career, she chose to stay home and homeschool their children, providing a consistent presence through years of relocation. Alongside homeschooling, Jen has also worked part time in marketing and the nonprofit sector, often from home.
She and her husband have five children and a sweet goldendoodle named Phish Food. All five children have been homeschooled and have used Veritas Press resources from Kindergarten through High School. Jen is active in her local community, passionate about volunteering and nonprofit work, and enjoys traveling and spending quality time with her family.
