Meet Our Team:
Kasi Ann Peters, M.Ed, Board President / Director of Homeschool Support & Events
“GHF brings together both of my passions; homeschooling and supporting families of gifted children! As a parent group facilitator, I’ve always known that gifted families need a unique community and as a mom of 2 gifted children, who is also homeschooling, it’s clear that being extra outside the box requires an even more unique community. GHF is that community and I’m grateful to have the opportunity to help create our support system!”
Kasi Peters is a passionate advocate for gifted and twice-exceptional children and their families. She has served on the boards of many gifted organizations including SENG and Profoundly Gifted Retreat. Kasi holds a certificate in Gifted and Talented Education and is a graduate student at Bridges Graduate School of Cognitive Diversity.

Katherine Turner, Board Secretary / Director of Marketing
“GHF’s beautiful collective of experts (not know-it-alls), veteran parents and educators (not reductive rule-dispensers) and fellow self-doubting noobs (most of whom discover they’re gifted themselves) held me steady and equipped me with the confidence, knowledge and resources to do what’s best at different stages of development for each of my four gifted (three, 2e) kids, both educationally and emotionally – how does someone adequately say ‘thank you’ for that?! What started out as a way to manifest my gratitude has evolved into a never-ending cycle of getting more sustenance from this community than I can ever repay, so I happily surrender and am content with doing what I can.”
Katherine Turner is a public relations, social media and writing professional with a soft spot for impossibly earnest educational non-profits.
Ricardo Mejia, Board Treasurer
“GHF is a caring group of individuals helping families navigate the educational road less traveled.”
Ricardo Mejia is VP of Operations at a software company, and the 2e father in a happy 2e home. When not soothing every frayed nerve in his vicinity from his bottomless well of genuine sympathetic positivity and calm insights, he can be found sharing his time in the GHF Virtual Co-Op, and welcoming and chatting with members in the Forum and Facebook group. Ric enjoys lifelong learning, theatre and time spent with family and friends.
Carol Malueg, MA, GCT 2e, Director of Community Programming & Events
“I found GHF, or GHF found me, when my youngest was midway through her senior year of high school. For both of our kids we had employed strategies like acceleration, online learning, partial homeschool, and early college to help them maintain their joy in learning. I am a strong advocate for helping gifted learners find their best educational fit within their unique constraints, which include time, location, access, and know-how. GHF opens many doors for families who are interested in, or actively pursuing, a non-traditional path to K-12 education for their gifted learners. I wish I’d found GHF sooner, but I am so very glad to now be a part of the work GHF does to support families on this amazing journey.”
Carol Malueg is the mother of two gifted young adults, founder and lead coach of the educational consultancy Gifted Roads, LLC., and a volunteer with several state and national organizations that support gifted kids and their families.

“My journey with my two complex outliers led us through public, private, homeschool, online, specialty schools, and radical acceleration. This journey through the range of educational environments, opened my eyes to seek a community that supports both our children and parental health and wellbeing. GHF is my place where parents from different places, backgrounds, values, and experiences come together to find a safe community that increases our understanding and learning across our lifespans.”
Lin Lim is the Dean of Students and Communications at Bridges Graduate School of Cognitive Diversity in Education.

Dr. Erinn Fears Floyd, Director of Community Outreach & DEI
“GHF means a safe, supportive space for allies and families to celebrate the gifts and talents of gifted students from all backgrounds and talent levels without question while the world around them fights about who gets to be gifted.

Lisa Jobe, JD, Director of Virtual Co-Op
”GHF’s mission, to empower every gifted family to make strategic, proactive, and intentional educational choices, mirrors my own mission to share, support, and grow together in this community. As a veteran homeschool parent of two profoundly gifted learners who, like so many, were unable to find the best educational path in traditional classrooms, I understand the desperate need our families have for support and community. GHF fulfills these important needs for gifted/2e families in many different ways. GHF’s welcoming and inclusive access for all gifted/2e families is also near to my heart as together we strive to expand access for gifted support.”
Lisa Jobe is an educational consultant specializing in providing homeschool support for profoundly gifted learners and their families, as co-founder of Sequoia Gifted and Creative, LLC.
