Hello!
I'm Melanie. I have 2 small kiddos of my own, and a spoiled cat. We love road trips, the library, our local zoo, food, and movie nights. I homeschool my children, and I believe in learning through play.
I have been teaching for 13 years, if you include my teaching assistant days. I have experience teaching children ages 0-12. I currently teach English to students in China, and it's so much fun. I've also worked with magazines and websites, since 2007. I write articles, take photos, and produce videos.
I have a degree in business, with a concentration in psychology and social services. I also have a degree in advanced automotive technology. I love working on cars, and I'm a big believer in STEAM learning.
