Tammie Carollo
I’ve been blessed to be part of the Homeschool Connections family for the past five years, and one of my favorite parts of the job has been getting to know so many of the wonderful families in the homeschooling community. Every family’s journey looks a little different, and I’ve really enjoyed connecting with and encouraging families along the way. I’ve also had the gift of homeschooling my own two children during different seasons of their educational years, so I know firsthand what a special—and sometimes challenging!—journey homeschooling can be.

Shannon ran a daycare/preschool for 12 years, worked with youth groups in her church and taught elective classes here and at other homeschool hybrids. She is also a licenced cosmetologist and still dabbles in that industry. When she is not working you can find her on nature walks with her kids, laughing at something silly or singing. Family and music are her passions.

Angie Stockwell
I love hanging out with my kids so much that I joined them at Homeschool Connections in 2025. My four children and I are entering our eighth year of homeschooling and our fifth year of co-op. In my spare time, I enjoy reading (I'm a sucker for a good story), cooking, hiking, and playing board games with my kids. I look forward to another year at Homeschool Connections and watching my children grow in their education and relationships.
Stephanie Faulk
Hello! I am excited to join the Homeschool Connections Team as a Campus Supervisor at the Brighton Campus. Originally from California, I relocated to Michigan to attend Graduate School at the University of Michigan-Go Blue! My family and I live in South Lyon, we enjoy playing board games and relaxing with our two dogs-Grace and Chloe. I love to cook and enjoy reading-especially 19th century British literature. This year marks my 10th year as a homeschool mom. I am looking forward to getting to know the Homeschool Connections families.
Nicole Kauffman
I have a love for the sciences and working with students to grow in critical thinking skills. This love began while working toward my Bachelor and Master's degrees in Food Science at Penn State University. After graduating, I worked in the food packaging industry before having my three children, who I have homeschooled since kindergarten. I taught science at all levels, logic and other technology related classes as well as served on the board and as the school administrator at a homeschool co-op for twelve years before joining Homeschool Connections in the winter of 2026.
