TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I've loved figuring things out since I was a little kid. Puzzles especially. There's just something so satisfying when you "beat" the puzzle. Naturally, I gravitated toward math and science, and my dream growing up was to be creating puzzles while sitting on the beach, or in front of a campfire. Unfortunately, that dream was crushed by a teacher/guidance counselor in college. It's a long story, but now I realize that I didn't have to listen to her, I can do whatever I want. Just recently, I found Teacher Pay Teachers and am just starting to create products that hopefully help other teachers, but more importantly, maybe get some children hooked on the wonderful world of puzzles!
