Maribeth is a wife and mother of four children.  While her children are too old to attend Mother of Hope, she has supported the mission of MOHHA from day one.  As a parent, she has experienced nearly every type of schooling situation, and sees the great need for Catholic hybrid homeschooling. Maribeth works as an accountant and bookkeeper for a number of family businesses, including the popular Wanderlust Beer Garden.  Her business and accounting experience, as well as her shared vision of an academy that supports Catholic homeschooling families, has been invaluable in taking Mother of Hope from vision to reality.  She attends Our Lady of Mercy Parish in Easton with her family.
