As the oldest child of seven, I have been teaching in some manner basically my whole life. It seemed very natural for me to enter the teaching field especially after receiving national and state teaching scholarships. I met my wonderful husband, Marty at a Baptist Campus Ministry meeting at UCF, and we will be celebrating our 29th anniversary in August. After college, I taught in public schools for over ten years before becoming blessed with our two children, Jonathan and Katie. Although having been a veteran in the teaching field, it was definitely a bit overwhelming at first at the thoughts of homeschooling our own children. I am so glad that God led us in this direction as this has been my most rewarding role as “teacher” as I have learned far more about teaching than in any college course or any amount of time as a classroom instructor. We have been homeschooling for over thirteen years now and look forward to many more. I am so honored to be an instructor at ACE and to be able to partner with you in your child’s learning journey. It brings me such joy each week to see your child’s smiling face as we grow and learn together that math is all around us and can be exciting and fun.
