Miriam's first love is teaching. She taught several grade levels and used Math-U-See in one of its earliest editions. She has retired from working at Demme Learning, where she served for several years in a variety of roles including customer service, writing, and editing. She is thrilled that her two grandsons are beginning their homeschool experience with Math-U-See.
