Tiffany Ater
My name is Tiffany Ater and I am so beyond excited for this school year together! God is SO good and I can't wait to be on this journey with your child as we learn, explore, and do life together. I have been a teacher with Loudoun County Public Schools for the last 10 years, and this June I felt called to close that door for now and trust God to open a new one. That closed door led me HERE to you, Plumbline was the open door and your children are part of it.
I live in Lovettsville with my husband and 3 sons. We love animals so we have a little farm as well as an Apiary (honeybees). I have lived in Loudoun County my entire life, used to show cows at the 4H fair, went to Loudoun Valley High School, and then graduated from Shepherd University where I studied Elementary Education. I am so very excited for this school year together and all the many learning experiences to come!
Psalm 46:10- Be still, and know that I am God (sharing my favorite bible verse because I know God already has our year in his hands)
Anne Bittner
Hi, I’m Anne Bittner, mother of 2 and grammy to a couple of cute little boys. As a former homeschooler, I’m excited to support current homeschoolers with the gifts the Lord has given me in writing, teaching and theater production. My introduction to acting began in my 20’s when I traveled the globe for 3 years with a Christian theater troupe. Since then, I’ve spent 30+ years writing for the stage, directing, performing and teaching theater to youth and adults. In 2008, I founded Lighthouse Drama in Purcellville for homeschoolers and loved all of our 11 years of classes and productions as we served the community through stories of hope, faith and courage. Since closing Lighthouse, I've enjoyed working with Jupiter Theater Company (founded and run by some of my amazing students). I'm passionate about telling the stories of life and after my husband passed, I was privileged to work 9 years for HSLDA where I interviewed many of our member-families and wrote their stories for print and video. Now in a new season, the Lord has led me to return to the "theater of life" and help a new generation of students bring the next set of humorous, heart-rending, soul touching stories to the stage.

Heather Dixon
Heather Dixon, MA
My name is Heather Dixon and I am blessed and thrilled to be involved for the Plumbline 24-25 school year! Since a very young age my heart has always gravitated towards art and the beauty of Gods creation. I currently reside in Berryville with my husband, my son Liam and two daughters Claire and Ava. I have a Bachelors of Fine Arts (with a concentration in Illustration and Graphic Design) from Shepherd University and a Masters of the Arts in Teaching Art k-12 from Mount St. Mary’s University. Previous to teaching I was employed as a graphic illustrator for a design company. I also enjoyed working as a production silversmith for a local artisan jeweler and did various freelance work. I then decided I wanted to teach art and became a teacher for FCPS in Md. I have experience teaching middle school art and high school ceramics. I then taught Middle school Life Skills (continuing my love of art through sewing and culinary arts) until I had my second baby and decided I wanted to be a stay at home Mom. Since then I have been homeschooling my three kiddos for the past 5 years. For me art is fused into everything and can be utilized in so many different forms but it is important to have a strong foundation and understanding of art principles and techniques. It is my joy to have an opportunity to equip others with the knowledge and skills to create and appreciate Art.

Bijan Gilanshah
I've been married for 26 years now to my amazing wife (her bio says I'm the amazing one--not true) and four awesome kids, two girls and two boys, ranging in age from 24 to 17. I attended George Mason University to study Government & Politics, and the University of Virginia for law school. I've been an attorney for the U.S. government for over 29 years, recently retired. Most of my time has been spent doing international law and policy work at the National Science Foundation. I've been blessed to have been able to help build major telescopes, work on research ships and even hurricane hunting aircraft projects. As the senior attorney to the United States Antarctic Program, I've been to Antarctica three times, including the South Pole. Brrrrrrrrr, but penguins are super cool. It's been a great privilege to push U.S. interests in the international arena for these many years. More generally, I have significant experience in all aspects of federal government operations, through Republican and Democratic administrations. For hobbies, I love to run and try to stay in shape, primarily because I also like to eat. I help coach Varsity Girls Basketball with the Loudoun County Patriots.
Dr. Catherine Gilanshah
Catherine Gilanshah, PhD
I am first a follower of Jesus Christ! Second, I’ve been married to my amazing husband, Bijan, for 26 years. I am honored to be the mom of four wonderful “children”, ranging from 24 to 17. I am passionate about homeschooling and believe that this is God’s provision, allowing us to fulfill Scriptural mandates such as Deuteronomy 11:19 and and Psalm 1:1-3. In addition to homeschooling our four kids for twenty years, I’ve enjoyed serving in various roles supporting homeschool enrichment activities like Loudoun Homeschool Soccer, American Heritage Girls and Loudoun County Patriots Basketball. In my spare time, I absolutely love to garden—flowers and veggies, especially spicy peppers for my husband who eats nothing without jalapeños! I love spending time with family, watching basketball and doing pretty much anything outside.
In my former life, a long, long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…I was an economist! I majored in Economics at Hillsdale College, where I earned my B.A., studied abroad for a year, and then, by God’s grace and with lots of his help, completed my Masters and PhD in Economics from George Mason University. Along the way, I taught for a semester at Hillsdale College and at George Mason University. I am appalled that anyone could think economics is boring and make it my goal to fix that misconception whenever I encounter it!

It is my hope that I can bring that special hoemschooling magic into the classroom and share the love of learning.

Jeff Kuzma
My name is Jeff Kuzma and I am excited to share my passion for health, nutrition, and
mathematics with students. I graduated from the US Air Force Academy with a degree in
Astronautical engineering and served in a variety of different jobs (and locations) in the Air
Force. I also competed in track and field at the Academy, earning All American honors in the
800m run. Upon graduating from the Academy, I served as Assistant Coach for the Academy’s
Track and Field and Cross Country teams. Additionally, I taught physical education classes
including SCUBA and lecture-style physical fitness methods. Throughout this time, I continued
my own personal training for the 800m run, culminating in a 5th place finish at the 2000 US
Olympic Trials. Since then, I have been on staff at National running camps as well as Head
Coach of several homeschool track and cross country teams.
While I am still passionate about running, I’m more passionate about teaching kids - both in and
outside of the classroom. Health and nutrition is about eating and living the way God intended
us to live. Through eating and exercise, we are honoring the incredible body that God created
for us to live life to the fullest, according to His will. In many ways, mathematics is an extension
of this as we learn the structure and order God created that govern His universe. Thank you, in
advance, for the opportunity to work with your kids.
Nicole Kuzma
I attended Colorado State University and the University of Central Florida where I graduated with a degree in Elementary Education. I taught 4th grade in the public school system for two years and then worked for Fellowship of Christian Athletes before starting a family. I have homeschooled my 4 children who are now grown. My youngest daughter is a sophomore in high school while my others have graduated from college, are attending vet school, and serving in the US Coast Guard. I taught IEW classes for my children and their peers in previous homeschool cooperatives. I believe it is critical during these formative years for students to have a positive experience learning to write. My desire and hope are to encourage, equip, and prepare children to become confident and successful writers.

Kimberly Millhouse
Homeschooling my children continues to be the best part of my life! My story is one that proves God can empower us to do what He calls us to do if we just trust Him. I started homeschooling reluctantly in 1999, and back then people would ask, "Can you really do that??" I look back now and can't belive it has been 25 years. I'm so thankful that my husband was obedient to the Lord when no one else around us even knew what homeschooling was.
After graduating from Auburn University with a BA in Public Relations/Journalism/Marketing, I married my college sweetheart, Paul. We have been married for 32 years, we have 5 children which we all homeschooled from the beginning, ranging in ages from 29 to 12, and I now have the amazing joy of being "Gigi" to 4 grandbabies (plus 1 more on the way this summer). Besides homeschooling and managing my home, I love to knit, sew, paint (although I don't consider myself very creative!), snow ski, hike/backpack/camp, and travel the world to wonderful places to see where history actually happened.
I have been active in the Loudoun County homeschooling community since 1999, so I feel really old! In additon to teaching high school writing classes, I directed the Vector Speech & Debate club for 10 years, coaching students in public speaking to win national top awards. I'm currently working on certification for dyslexia training, as we have worked with our own children through the challenges of dyslexia. It's my heart to support homeschool families by sharing my experience and connecting them to homeschool resources of all kinds.
In my homeschool I have taught all my children to write using a time-tested classical method called the Progymnasmata. I use the same techniques for my high school writing classes and have enjoyed watching so many of my students learn to actually enjoy the writing process. It's my goal to help my students learn that writing isn't the daunting process they may think it is!

Additionally, she is currently pursuing a Master of Educational Therapy from Southeastern University. Treasure is passionate about empowering students and families to recognize and reach their full potential and identity in Christ. Her personal relationship with Jesus is central to everything she does, and her ultimate objective is to help others discover the present and eternal freedom that is found in Him.
Along with a desire to help children and families, Treasure loves any opportunity to engage in Spanish language and culture. She fell in love with the language in 8th grade and has pursued any chance to learn and experience it further. In addition to completing four years of Spanish in high school and receiving four semesters of upper-level Spanish instruction in college, she has spent a combined total of six months living abroad in Spanish speaking countries.
In her free time Treasure loves to spend time with her family (especially her 6 nieces and nephews), hike/camp, bake, ski, ride horses, travel, and make/drink coffee. As a former homeschool student, she feels very privileged to pass on the knowledge and blessing that she received by teaching students at Plumbline Schoolhouse this year.

Kerry Perry
I am a Christian wife, mother (to 6 young men and 2 daughter-in-loves), soon to be KiKi (to my first grandson), and homeschool momma for over 12 years. I love the Lord, my family and friends, and all things farming/garden/kitchen. I grew up in New Jersey and moved to Virginia to get a degree at George Mason University in International Studies and Foreign Policy (with additional heavy study in Art History). I met my wonderful husband (of 30 years!) at GMU and we were married shortly after graduation. After my first son was born and I had worked for nearly 10 years in D.C., we moved to the beautiful countryside in Loudoun County. God called me to start homeschooling in 2013. Since that time our family has had many adventures. We started a small farm with chickens, goats, pigs, and rabbits. One of our favorite things to do together is take trips to new cities and learn the history in and around those places. Our family has a passion for mission work in many forms and we have taken multiple trips to Haiti and Bolivia. I am so thankful that God called our family to homeschool and will treasure the sweet memories and the everlasting bonds this experience has created. There are too many Bible verses that I simply love - therefore, I cannot choose a single verse that is my favorite. However, one Bible verse has stuck in my head and heart since the first months after I became a Christian. It is: Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, Colossians 3.23. I am humbled and excited to have the opportunity to share in the Christ-centered educational experience and spiritual development of your kiddos through the classes at Plumbline Schoolhouse!
