Mrs. Cherith Shaffer To All Instructors

My name is Cherith Shaffer and I've been a homeschooling mom for 5 years now. I have a B.S in German with a Mechanical Engineering track from the United States Military Academy at West Point and served in the Army as a Blackhawk helicopter pilot. After getting out, I married my husband in 2012 and we have 3 daughters. I always knew I wanted to homeschool and I have been blessed to be able to do that from the beginning. I have been working part-time from home as a web designer for a small, woman-owned and veteran-owned business for 2 years now and enjoy the often challenging but flexible work it brings. I also went back to school and became a board-certified Ultrasound Technologist and worked in a hospital setting for a bit when my youngest was born. 

I have always enjoyed languages and especially appreciate the beauty of the written word. I love running (especially half-marathons) and hiking. I volunteer as an admissions coordinator for the congressional district for West Point and I serve on Congressman Smucker's Service Academy Nomination board. I've also been volunteering as a fill-in sonographer for Align ministries, and I love the work they do. I help coach my daughters' youth field hockey teams in the fall and love to see them enjoying that sport.
