Before starting Mathnasium of Mount Pleasant, I was in the financial services and banking industry. Having also previously been a coach, I always enjoyed working with kids and thought education would be a more fulfilling long term career. After researching opportunities to combine both my experience in finance and coaching, I found the Mathnasium franchise and opened our Mount Pleasant location in 2014. After the success of Mount Pleasant, I expanded with my business partner to now a total of 3 locations – Mtp, Sville, Charleston. What I love most about what I do is that I get to interact with people, work with kids, and see the transformations and positive impact our business can have on a child’s career and life.
