Jenny Matthews
Bonjour! My name is Jennifer Matthews. I graduated from Meredith College with a French degree and teaching certification. After several years of teaching, I decided to stay home with my growing family. I have been homeschooling my four children for the last eight years. My faith is the foundation that keeps me going each day. I accepted Christ as a young child and am continually learning more about who He is and His will for my life. I am passionate about languages and other cultures. I love opening these doors of the world to other children.
