Phoebe (they/them) is an artist and storyteller. Homeschooled as a child, they were excited to also homeschool their own children. With experience running and teaching for a co-op, they are excited to share what they’ve learned teaching neurodivergent youth. As a queer, gay, trans, non-binary, and gender-fluid person, they see everything through a queer lens and are passionate about giving kids and families a chance to make their home educating experience more LGBTQ+ aware, friendly, accepting, and embracing. In their spare time you’ll find them painting landscapes, drawing birds and people, reading, and adventuring with their kids.

Riley (she/her) would never describe herself as a storyteller, but she is. With an incredible ability to see people through a clear lens, she’s excellent at not only seeing people’s strengths, but also at advocating for them and believing in them. Her own kids have gone through a mix of home educating, state schools, co-ops, and more, and she firmly believes that everyone deserves to be seen and succeed. She enjoys spending time with her kids, hiking, painting, and watching roller derby.
