Beth Swinderman grew up with four desires when she was a kid, to be a wife, mom, teacher, and secretary. She considers it a privilege to have experienced all these roles and continues to seek God daily for guidance in the responsibilities of wife, mom and teacher.

Beth graduated from Evangel University in 1997 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Elementary Education and has since been an educator in both private and public schools. She has taught students in grades ranging from kindergarten to 8th grade. Her passion is to train today’s youth, via in person or online, so they can grow in the knowledge of the world God created and to learn more about the amazing relationship they can have with Him.

When she is not teaching, Beth enjoys spending time with her husband of 17 years, and her young teenage daughter. As a family they love to spend time traveling and racing in the Soap Box Derby. Other hobbies include walking, gardening, helping out at church, and worshiping her Savior with others at a local barn near her home in northeast Ohio.
