Born in Cleveland, Ohio, my family moved to the south when I was very young. I have grown up in the Carolinas, but never lost that Cleveland spirit. I have a Master of Education and a huge passion for kids. Currently I teach middle school math - which is how "The Story of the Order of Operations" was written. Slowly I'm adding some more algebra helpers for teachers and home school parents. My favorite things to do in this world are teach, read, and write.
