Who Am I?

My name is Elizabeth Kouma (kōw-muh).

​

I’m primarily a follower of Christ, wife, and mama of 4 loved children.

I'm also a Spanish teacher and homesteader.

Education:

In 2013, I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Spanish as well as a teacher’s license for teaching K-12 Spanish from Colorado State University. 

​

Experience Snapshot:

• I was hired at Heritage Christian Academy (where I attended high school) following graduation from college to teach Spanish for the following classes for one year before our first child was born :​​

  • Introduction to Spanish

  • Spanish I

  • Spanish II

  • Spanish III/IV 

​

• Every year since then I have taught private Spanish classes for children and youth ages 3 and up with classes ranging from about 2-12 students

• I have extensive experience with children and youth, from my own experiences being part of a foster-adopt family, working as a Children’s MInistry Coordinator, and having 4 children of my own!

More about me:

​

Born in Arizona, I grew up in Colorado. I got married to my wonderful husband in 2013.

 

For many years, life was a whirlwind: a move to Wyoming, a move within Wyoming, a move back to Colorado, another move within Colorado, several job changes for my husband, 3 home births, 1 adoption, move to Missouri! Whew!

​

Now, life in the southeast Missouri country is settling down after many busy years. We currently have lots of bees, chickens, and an orchard as we work toward raising a bunch of our own food holistically and naturally!

Here are some of the things that I love:

​

God. My family. Gardening. Homesteading. Teaching Spanish!
