Ellen was born to a poor family of farmers in rural Indiana.  She attended Purdue University after graduating H.S. in 1979.  She married at 25 and became the mother of 5 beautiful, talented, and gifted children.  Her career as a homeschool mother has flourished for over 25 years.  With a variety of interest, from science, watercolors, to photography,  Ellen feels that education is a lifetime adventure and best learned through a hands on experience.  

 

"I enjoy sharing my love and passion with students of all ages and inspiring  them to own their education.  I feel very fortunate to be able to learn alongside my children."
