Maggie earned her undergraduate degree in Education from Covenant College and began her career at Lookout Mountain Elementary School, where she served as a classroom aide for a student with special needs. She later taught physical education and coached basketball and volleyball at Brainerd Baptist School.

Maggie and her husband, Erik, then moved to Anniston, Alabama, where they spent 19 years investing in the lives of young people. During that time, Maggie served in middle and high school youth ministries, coached the high school girls’ basketball team, and served for several years on the school board at Faith Christian School.

Maggie’s passion for history and geography began in high school when she attended the Governor’s School for Tennessee History and Environmental Studies. That love of learning continues today through family adventures, including RV trips to national parks and historic landmarks across the country.

In 2016, Maggie and Erik moved to Jasper, Tennessee, where Erik became the pastor of Grace Presbyterian Church. As a homeschooling mother of seven, Maggie brings more than 25 years of firsthand homeschooling experience to the classroom. Six of her seven children have attended Hilger Higher Learning, and Maggie has been a valued part of the HHL community since 2021, serving as both a study hall supervisor and substitute teacher. She is also currently pursuing her master’s degree in biblical counseling.

Maggie is excited to inspire her students with a love of learning as they discover God's faithfulness throughout history and the beauty of His creation. She looks forward to helping students see how history and geography reveal God's hand at work in the world around them.

Outside the classroom, Maggie enjoys reading, two cups of coffee in the morning, and spending time with her family.
