Jen Shimon

Aide for 7th Grade

Hi, I'm Jen! My husband and I have been married for 18 years, and together we have two wonderful children, ages 13 and 15. Originally from Michigan, our family moved to Arizona in 2019 and began our homeschooling journey shortly after. Homeschooling has become such a meaningful part of our family's life, and I love seeing the unique ways children learn and grow.

I have worked as an ultrasound technologist since 2007, but my greatest joy has been raising our children and investing in their education. Our home is always full of life with several pets, including two "foster fail" cats and an elderly foster dog. In my free time, you'll usually find me studying God's Word, attempting to propagate plants, or enjoying a good cup of coffee.

I am excited and grateful to be joining the Tandem family as the 7th Grade Aide. I look forward to building relationships with students, encouraging them through the middle school years, and partnering with families as we point students toward Christ and help them grow academically and spiritually.
