meet our teachers

Director & Teacher

My husband and I have been married since 2004 and we have twin girls who have been homeschooled since 2015.  I have been a member of Lake Country since 2001 and became the Children's Director in 2005.  The privilege to build a foundation with each child in our ministry has been one of the greatest blessings in my life.  I pray this ministry is blessing to your family.  I desired for my own girls, a homeschool 'family' with party days, yearbooks, community and faith.  I am humbled that the Lord blessed us so abundantly here!

Teacher

 I am a wife, mother and grandma.......so thankful for my family, my church and God’s faithfulness in my life.  I have had the privilege of teaching in the public schools for the past 30 years, retiring just a year ago.  I look forward to meeting each one of you!  May God bless our year as we learn and grow together!

Piano Instructor

I have been happily married to my husband Brad since 1999, and together we are raising our 4 children. I graduated from college in 2001 with a bachelors degree in secondary education, and in 2002 I began teaching my first piano students. I have continued teaching students of all ages, and I look forward to helping each new student discover, and develop their God given abilities.

Teacher

I have been married to my husband, Chris, for 11 years. We have three beautiful girls that fill our lives with much joy. Our household also includes a fluffy bernedoodle named Ramona.
When the sky isn’t dumping buckets, we love to explore the natural beauty that surrounds us. You can usually find us at the beach, Lord Hill, or Skagit valley.
A few hobbies of mine are birding, native plant identification, and reading.
I am grateful to be a part of the community at Lake Country and can’t wait to see what God has in store for the students and families this year!

Teacher

My husband and I moved from California to Lake Stevens in 2016. We love raising our three girls in the Pacific Northwest. We love hiking, paddleboarding, camping and anything else we can do outside.
I am so grateful to be a part of the Lake County Homeschool program. I graduated from Cascade College in Portland, OR with a Bachelor's Degree in Early Childhood/Elementary Education. Over the years, I have been able to teach at many different schools throughout California and Washington. I have been homeschooling my girls for the last year and a half and the time with them has been so rewarding. I am so grateful God has led me here to use my gift as a teacher while teaching my own children as well.

2nd - 10th Grade STEM Teacher

My wife Amy and I have been married since 2010 and have 4 boys. I have been a design engineer since 2008. Over the last 5 years God has put a desire in my heart to connect with my boys and other families through family ministry. I have had the privilege of leading children's ministry and small groups but I always felt a desire to teach STEM. When we switched our boys to homeschool I missed the ability to help in the classrooms and to connect in that way. So as the school year was ending God led me to step out in faith and to ask Jen about teaching a STEM class here. I am really looking forward to meeting and getting to know each of you and your kiddos this year. I hope through the use of science, technology, math and engineering each student will learn how to think outside of the box, understanding that sometimes failing leads to growth, how to communicate, and work as a team.

Kindergarten & 1st Grade STEM Teacher

My wife, Megan, and I are East coast transplants to the Pacific Northwest. We have been married for 9 years and have 3 kids with our oldest in Kindergarten. I have been a mechanical engineer since I graduated college in 2013 working primarily in the aerospace industry. I've been passionate about science and engineering since I was young. As I have grown in my understanding of how the world works I have become more in awe of the complexity and purposefulness of God's creation. My curiosity about how things work leads me to continuously be amazed by the Designer and Creator of the world. I am looking forward to working with your kids and cultivating a similar curiosity about how God designed things to work and learning how to use the minds he gave us to engineer and create!My hope is that this class will inspire your student to develop a love for creating.

English Teacher

One of my passions is teaching kids how to learn.  After 24 years as a public school teacher, I "retired" to homeschool my grandchildren and now to help guide other parents in their homeschool endeavors.  Through the written and spoken word, God reveals to us the truth, beauty, and virtue of his creation which then allows us to contend with the current worldview.  I am blessed to be on this journey with students here at Lake Country as we learn to understand how the art of language builds enthusiasm, confidence, and excellence for God .

Teacher

I was born and raised in the PNW and am happily married to my husband Beau since 2005.  We share two boys and currently live in the Getchell area of Lake Stevens.  After two semesters at Boise State, I realized my passion for the fire and EMS field and returned home to study. After 7 years in that field, God called me to stay home and raise my boys and then home school them for 4 years.  I believe in nurturing our natural desires to observe, question and test the amazing Creation that has been gifted to us. I am excited to work with your children so that they may never lose their wonder and curiosity regarding this amazing world and all the creeping things contained in it.

Music & Movement Teacher

Farley Woodbury fell in love with Music Together in 2012 while taking classes with her oldest daughter.  She is absolutely thrilled to be sharing her love for Music Together as a teacher. Farley’s background is in fitness, hospitality, and landscaping.
Farley believes music is a foundation of learning. Now a certified Music Together® teacher, she is excited to create a musical community within her classes and inspire families to make music at home and bring back music-making in our culture. Farley loves to garden on her farm in Snohomish where she lives with her husband and 2 daughters. With music as a passion in her life, she is also an aspiring guitar and ukulele player.

Teacher

My husband, Tim, and I have been married since 2013, and together we are very passionate about serving our community!  I have been homeschooling my own children since 2020, and found the community of my prayers at Lake Country.  I look forward to exploring how we can glorify God with math while sharing a love for learning with your children!  My background includes leadership, teaching, and volunteer training in several local ministries that serve women, children, and adults with developmental disabilities.  I am so excited to get to know your families this year!
