Deanna Heikkinen is an educator whose profound passion for a liberty-minded, classical approach to education 📚 has guided her extensive career. With advanced degrees in education, history, and anthropology, Deanna's educational philosophy 🤔 is deeply rooted in the principles of classical education, emphasizing the importance of primary sources, classic literature, and the Great Books 📖.
Her educational philosophy is not just about imparting knowledge but nurturing free-thinking individuals who appreciate the intellectual heritage of humanity 🌍. She is a former tenured professor who left academia 🏫 to fight the corruption of the American education system by becoming a homeschool advocate and tutor 👩🏫.
Deanna's commitment to a liberty-minded narrative is most evident in her upcoming book, Shells to Satoshi: The Story of Money and the Rise of Bitcoin 💸📈. Following the spring release of the book, Deanna will be writing several levels of curriculum on the history of money and Bitcoin as well as a series of books for young readers. In addition to her background in education, Deanna first learned about Bitcoin over a decade ago and has become a staunch advocate for the spread of Bitcoin education.
In 2023, she and her husband moved to El Salvador 🇸🇻 to pursue new opportunities with their writing and education backgrounds and their aspiration to live on a Bitcoin standard.
