I am a mom to five beautiful children: three of which have special needs. When we found Hope Ranch Learning Academy my girls were feeling defeated in the public school system and as a mom, I was terrified for my son to start Kindergarten. We needed HOPE more than I could have ever realized at that time. Upon my kids completing their first school year I knew I wanted and needed to leave Corporate America to come work at Hope. Seeing how much growth both educationally and spiritually they had experienced left me yearning for a peaceful and Christian work environment. All I knew was the fast paced, greed of Corporate America. Prior to working at Hope Ranch Learning Academy, I had fifteen years in the Automotive Industry as an Executive Assistant. I worked for one of the top 10 largest Automotive Dealer Groups in the United States, handling several responsibilities from payroll, human resources, accounts receivable and payables and many more. I also worked hand in hand with the Executive Management staff daily; I helped with coordinating and managing whatever they needed. The fear of leaving the unknown can be overwhelming but the peace and love that has filled my heart, my family and my day-to-day-to-life since has been extraordinary.
