I hold a PhD from the University of Virginia (Educational Psychology-Gifted Education; research methodology), an MA from the University of Connecticut (Gifted & Talented Education), an MAT from National-Louis University (Secondary Education, English), BA from Columbia College Chicago (Marketing Communications-PR), and high school diploma from Wheaton Christian High School (now Wheaton Academy).
I spent 20 years in K–12 education, first as a classroom teacher, then as a consultant, author, and graduate-level instructor. My publications include Exam Schools: Inside America’s Most Selective Public High Schools, Differentiation in the Elementary Grades, & Differentiation in Middle & High School, and various articles, reports, and other academic/scholarly works. (See here for a selection.)
I stepped away from the professional field of education to homeschool my two children during the 2020–21 school year. Subsequently, I assisted Liberty Justice Center with media and data analysis for litigation challenging COVID-era mandates and censorship and authored two reports for the National Opportunity Project: one on federal COVID funding for private schools and the other on DEI-influenced hiring practices in public-school districts.
I began writing on Substack in July 2021 after Twitter suspended my account for posting what it labeled “COVID-19 misinformation.” A later suspension for quoting a Wall Street Journal reporter was documented in a Wood House 76 article that was then cited in an amicus brief submitted to the U.S. Supreme Court in Murthy v. Missouri. Tweets from my original COVID-related Twitter account appear in Team Reality: Fighting the Pandemic of the Uninformed.
I participated at different points in Rational Ground and PANDA. Other COVID-era advocacy included organizing and speaking at public events; pushing for open schools; opposing forced masking and vaccine mandates; uncovering the University of Illinois’ false claims to an FDA emergency use authorization; identifying flaws in CDC reporting of pediatric COVID deaths; and testifying as a data analyst in a vaccine-mandate arbitration case against the City of Chicago.
In early 2022, Erich Hartmann invited me to co-host a series of live-streamed podcasts on The Sanity Channel called Team Reality, focused on what we saw as the pressing COVID issues of the time. We recorded fifteen episodes between January and June 2022, covering school policies, child masking, vaccine mandates and safety signals, data manipulation, public-health tracking systems, legal challenges, and the credibility of official COVID narratives, with recurring attention to developments in Illinois, California, New York, and other states.
I was interviewed for and quoted in Liz Cole and Molly Kingsley’s The Children’s Inquiry: How the State and Society Failed the Young during the Covid-19 Pandemic. Later I contributed to six chapters in Norman Fenton and Martin Neil’s Fighting Goliath: Exposing the Flawed Science and Statistics Behind the COVID-19 Event.
Some of my original and republished work can also be found on Brownstone Institute, Pandata.org, The Epoch Times, The Conservative Woman (UK), Sanity Unleashed, and Where are the Numbers?
I write independently and pro bono.
Soli Deo Gloria.
