Meet The Speakers

 Kerri Davison is a wife, mother, and grandmother. She and Ken have been married for 38 years and have eight children whom she homeschooled all the way through high school.

She and her husband founded Holy Heroes (www.HolyHeroes.com), a company dedicated to publishing catechetical products to help parents “bring the joy &  wonder of the Faith to their families.” Flagship products include Glory Stories, Holy Heroes devotionals, and many books for children of all ages. Holy Heroes online “adventures” for Advent, Lent, Marian Consecration, Spiritual Adoption, weekly Mass Prep and more reach hundreds of thousands of families, schools, and parishes—all still absolutely free-of-charge.
 

Kerri has two graduate degrees and has authored three books yet she believes the greatest use of her time has been raising and homeschooling her children.

Fr. Paul Sullivan is a priest of the Diocese of Phoenix and serves as Rector of the Nazareth Seminary and Pastor of St. Gregory Parish. He grew up in New York in a faithful family where he first came to know the Lord. After Catholic elementary school and public high school, he studied business at the State University of New York at Albany. While working for two CPA firms in New York and Phoenix, he encountered further conversion to Jesus and this to discernment of a priestly vocation. He entered formation at Saint Meinrad Seminary in 2002 to further consider the Lord’s will for him which became more and more clear. After these years of formation and earning degrees in philosophy and theology, he was ordained in 2007. He has served at a number of parishes in the Phoenix area and has been working in seminary formation and vocation work since 2008. He has served at Nazareth Seminary since 2019 when it was founded. He is currently serving at St. Agnes Parish and St. Agnes Seminary House.

One of the best gifts to homeschooling in our community is to have so many wonderful families around to encourage and inspire our own families! As a 16 year homeschooling veteran of 7 children, Megan Girard has gathered up a plethora of tips and tricks to share with you to help you get through some of those tough day-to-day challenges. Listeners should leave with a list of ideas and loads of inspiration to help make any homeschooling journey just a little bit easier.  Topics include challenges with boys/girls/teens/littles and all of them at once! Plus, how you can care for yourself and still make dinner every night and much more.

Elizabeth Sobczyk is a Co-founder of FiAt Productions, Author and Illustrator of Children’s Book, Rosie Posie Twinkle Toes, and Regina Caeli homeschool Hybrid Mom of 5 littles.

She is excited to give a talk on how to lean into your God-given gifts and become the unique mom God created you to be. She goes into her own journey of fear, perfection, and an “I can do everything” attitude to surrender, peace, and confidence in the Lord and Him alone.  She hopes her talk will help other beautiful and imperfect mammas learn how to reject fear and embrace the grace of God in the messiness and beauty of homeschool life. 

Tiffany Seybert explains why high school feels different. She walks through how to build a strong high school plan and creating a college ready transcript all with the primary focus of going beyond Academics to build an Outstanding Student

Jessica Gilliland is the wife of Deacon Andrew Gilliland and mom of seven (two of which intercede from heaven). She has been published twice "Primal Loss: The Now Adult Children of Divorce Speak edited by Leila Miller & One Heart One Soul by Corky Wedge", and has embraced the journey (adventure) of homeschooling from "follow the curriculum,  finish the workbook" to an "Almost Unschooler" with one graduate under her proverbial belt. She is grateful for the community support that Sacred Heart Home Educators provides and is always open to sharing how the Catholic faith has shaped who she is.

Kelly Zuk hopes to guide listeners though ESAs and Affidavits, curriculum choices, co-ops and RCA, family sanity, daily plans, monthly plans, yearly plans, sports options, extra curricular fun, speech and reading therapies, community involvement and much more.
