Alicia Van Hecke is the editor and webmaster of Favorite Resources for Catholic Homeschoolers. She was homeschooled for all of highschool and became Kolbe Academy's first homeschool graduate in 1988. Alicia went on to receive her B.A. in Liberal Arts from Thomas Aquinas College in 1992. She has experience teaching Math, History, Religion and Music at a small parent-run Catholic school and later led a parish study group for mothers on the Catechism of the Catholic Church. She has been very involved in politics and in the pro-life movement in the past, but has more recently decided to focus on education as an area of special interest to her and one that is compatible with meeting the needs of her growing family. She has tutored a number of homeschool students in various subjects and currently teaches Latin and leads a catechism and a literature discussion group for homeschooled teens. She has given workshops on beginning homeschooling and homeschooling highschoolers at several Catholic homeschool conferences. She is an avid reader and especially loves History and biographies.

She and her husband, John Van Hecke, homeschool their six children who range in age from 3 to 14.
