Mrs. Monica Breier graduated from Colorado State University with a degree in biology, focusing on cellular and molecular genetics. She worked as a microbiologist and chemist after graduation but discovered laboratory work was not her vocation. Mrs. Breier pursued her teaching license because she had enjoyed her time as a teacher’s aide during college and loved teaching for several outdoor summer programs during and post-college.

She taught middle school science and math in Catholic schools for seven years before teaching with Homeschool Connections. Mrs. Breier is married with four children. The whole family is very active in youth ministry for the Archdiocese of Denver as well as in their parish.
