Tiffany loves spending time with family and friends, hosting get-togethers in their home and having family game nights. She loves hiking in the woods and spending time outdoors exercising.

“In 2018, I began planning to start a homeschool co-op for my children to attend. After much research and planning, I was struggling to find my team of people to build my co-op with. When I discovered TCA, I realized that God had already built the co-op I was planning for back in 2003! TCA is the answer to my homeschooling mama’s heart.”
