Hi, I’m Jackie
I’m a Christ-follower, wife, mother, grandmother, and longtime homeschool educator who’s passionate about helping families find confidence in their educational decisions. I serve as a speaker and coach, and I’m the designated Education Coach for Vertical Learning, where I provide personalized education coaching for both parents and students. My work centers on helping families navigate homeschooling and broader educational planning with clarity, compassion, and practical strategy.
Because my background is rooted in real-life, hands-on homeschooling and faith-based family life, I don’t approach coaching as a one-size-fits-all formula. I help parents build learning plans that honor their values, their child’s needs, and the realities of everyday family rhythms. I also work directly with students to strengthen ownership, build effective routines, and move toward academic goals without burning out. Over time, I’ve been grateful to share these approaches at homeschool conferences, where I speak and coach alongside families working through the same educational challenges.
