Hello and welcome to our home on the web!  I am a Home CEO Chief Executive Organizer, Culinary and Exercise Officer and Chief Education Officer of the Pearson Family.  I am happily married to Hardy, my amazing husband, and am a mom of three and spiritual mom of many more.   I am daily thankful to have the opportunity to work with a truly amazing team of women who inspire me with their enthusiasm and creativity on a daily basis.

Hello, my name is Shannon Moyer and I was a teacher in elementary education (grades K-5) for 7 years and have since became a stay at home Mom after having our daughter.

I am so honored that I was given the gift of motherhood. It is tough at times but that all goes away when their tiny eyes meet yours. It is probably one of the most important jobs I will ever have. I am also married to Mark who I met while attending the College of Education at the University of South Florida. I am so lucky to have found a partner in life that believes in my dreams and stands by my side to help me achieve them.

Teaching is such a huge passion of mine. While I was in the classroom I started creating materials to bring creativity, excitement and purpose into my lessons. After seeing how much my students enjoyed my homemade materials I had the idea that I could share them with others to help inspire their students as well. That is when I created The Teaching Reef. You can find all my resources here: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Store/The-Teaching-Reef

The Teaching Reef represents the special place in my heart that I will always have for my first classroom which was an ocean theme. In addition to this, it also symbolizes how I always want my students to feel as though they are part of a family or school where everyone belongs and everyone learns. Yes everyone, including the teacher! There is something special about giving the gift of learning to a child but it's an even better gift when a child teaches you. I have made so many lifelong memories from the children that I have had the privilege of being my students. To be able to create lessons and activities allows me to continue to share that love of learning.

Which is why I am so honored to be a part of the Home CEO Academy. I first came in contact with this company because I fell in love with their preschool 2-3 curriculum that I purchased for my daughter. After a few back and forth emails I found myself surrounded by strong, creative, and ambitious women with whom I was so honored to be amongst. Their sense of balance throughout all aspects of life is empowering. I am hopeful and eager to see what our Home CEO team can achieve and support. I am excited to create resources for the child or children in your life.

I’m Jenifer Moreno, from Spain, and I’ve gone from being a Genetics teacher at a University to be the proud CEO of the Perez-Aradros family. I’m very fortunate to share my life with my Husband Miguel, he is my partner, my best friend, and my rock.

Our son Victor came into our lives when we are on the verge of losing hope. The wait made me more patient, more mature, wiser. The news of his arrival filled the holes in our home with joy and optimism. When I first held him in my arms, I realized that love is infinite and that I would never be again the first in my priority list. He has changed our lives in more ways that I can explain. He is the reason I’m here sharing my journey with this courageous group of women who want to improve the life of their family and of many other families too.

Hi! I'm Keri and I am a Jill of all trades! A broad range of jobs and experiences has given me a unique view of people and the world around me. I knew before I even had children that I would be a homeschooler so I began teaching my boys before they were even born!

I was in my mid-30s when I reconnected with and married my childhood sweetheart, Brian. We have two wacky and wonderful boys, Evan and Ethan, who soak up knowledge like sponges so I am constantly looking for fun new ways to teach them. We spend a great deal of time outside, exploring around our property and learning about nature but I also ensure they understand the importance of doing practical work inside the house and staying balanced in all aspects of learning.

Hi, I am Brandie Wippler! I am a mother of two amazing boys whom I adore and love to the moon and back. I became a Chief Education Officer in 2017 to homeschool my boys. I am also married to my very best friend Derrick. We have had many years and many adventures together. Our biggest adventure to date has been parenthood.

I love to draw, paint, and craft. Now it is my pleasure to be able to use those abilities to help others in teaching their students and children. It has been my own personal experience that art in its many forms just like a book can send a child in to a world or wonder and imagination. It can light a fire of curiosity that can send a child soaring to greater heights and achievements.

I love being part of the amazing team at Home CEO Academy. My greatest hope is to inspire children to love and enjoy learning so they can one day achieve their very own dreams.

Hi, I'm Jordan! I have been doodling as long as I can remember, often finding myself in trouble in school for doodling while my eyes were supposed to be on the teacher. After finishing high school, I spent some time modeling in the high fashion industry, traveling to New York, Paris, and Milan. While I have had many incredible experiences, nothing makes me happier than being curled up in a comfy spot, doodle pad in hand. I am thrilled to have the opportunity to put my doodles to use to give back and to share them with the world!

I am excited to embrace all the expected and unexpected journeys that life takes you on

Rachelle is an invaluable member of the Home CEO Academy team, whose attention to detail can always be relied upon!

Hi, my name is Rachelle Taylor!  From a young age, I always knew I wanted to work with children and to be a mom.  I am grateful every day that I am able to be a mom to two energetic toddlers (even at those tough moments!) and that I get to be their teacher for every aspect in their lives. 

Before becoming a stay at home mom, I attended Utah State University, graduating with a degree in Elementary Education and an endorsement in Mathematics.  I was fortunate to work in an amazing Title One school where I was surrounded by supportive and dedicated teachers.  Seeing the progress my students made each year and developing relationships with each child was the most rewarding part of my time as a public school teacher.  During the four years I taught I obtained my ESOL endorsement and learned valuable skills in reaching struggling students.  I am a lover of young children and their enthusiasm for learning.  

Being a teacher and now a full time mom has taught me the importance of having good support and working together as a team to reach goals.  I am grateful for the opportunity I have to be a part of the amazing and supportive team that makes up the Home CEO Academy. 

During the fifteen years I taught elementary school my favorite part of the job was pulling together resources to meet the needs of ALL my students while addressing state and local standards.

In addition to teaching my daughter and managing the household, I enjoy crafting, reading, and creating “stuff” with knitting needles or crotchet hook.  As a family we enjoy hiking in the National Parks and marveling at how blessed we are to be parents.

My name is Lauren Yearry. I have two little ones, Kinsley and Eli. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education and have been teaching for six years. I currently teach in Kindergarten in Florida. We first fell in love with Home CEO Academy when my daughter was two; we used the 3 year old Pre-K curriculum. We have now transitioned into the four year old Pre-K program and couldn't be happier! We love Home CEO Academy and I am thrilled to be collaborating with this amazing group as a Curriculum Consultant.

Hi, my name is Candice Tecson, from Miami, Florida!  I earned my Bachelor's degree in elementary education at Barry University and I later earned my Masters in reading education at Florida International University.  While earning my degrees, I privately tutored students in reading and math.  I also worked at a private school where I was the curriculum supervisor for their VPK program.

I have been blessed with an amazing husband and two wonderful children!  I have the privilege of homeschooling both of my children.  We are really enjoying our homeschool journey!  Each day is full of adventure and opportunities to learn and grow together!

From an early age, and even before I can remember, my mother stressed the importance of education, self-motivation, and goal setting. Having and maintaining a clean, orderly home was a priority. I can remember, as a child, helping my mother move the furniture away from the wall so that we could clean the wood floors and baseboards completely. She would say, “A job worth doing is worth doing well”.

She not only taught me to organize my room and our home but, also to organize my thoughts, priorities, and goals. Even as a single mother who often worked two, even three jobs, to pay for my education and our home, we sat down together for dinner, and talked; we talked about everything. I learned so much from her during those talks but what resonated with me the strongest was the validation she gave me – I was worthy of having thoughts, worthy of being heard, and worthy of the dreams I had for myself. That gift, and all the others, I now share with my own children.

I am a perpetual listener, helper, encourager, and advice giver. Not only in my career as a marketing executive, but in my personal life as a daughter, sister, wife, mother, aunt and friend, I strive to do and give my best. It is my sincerest hope that by sharing my personal story, tips, and tools for living an organized, healthy, joyful life, that you, your family and your home will be impacted for the better.
