My name is Melissa Wade, but I go by Missy. I am a wife and mother of two. I have been married 36 years to my childhood sweetheart. Our daughter Shelby is 27, our son Carson is 24. I homeschooled both children for a total of 13 years.

Shelby has an associate degree in Biology, a bachelor’s degree in Psychology, and an associate degree in Allied Health with a concentration in Biology and certification being an Occupational Therapy Assistant. She is currently working as an OTA at Norman Regional Hospital. Carson joined the Air Force following graduation from high school and has completed almost 6 years of service. He is currently serving as a Flying Crew Chief on a KC-46 Aircraft. 

I received a bachelor’s degree in Business with a concentration in mathematics from the
University of Central Oklahoma in 1990. In September 2019, I started school at Western
Governors University and graduated with a Master of Education degree in Instructional Design in 2021. 

I am currently the owner/administrator of MATH Academy and Learning Center. After having other jobs, life led me to teach mathematics. I continue to teach today, and I absolutely love it! I have been teaching in the homeschool community for over 18 years at various co-ops, teaching classes of my own, and private tutoring. I am an Adjunct Professor of Developmental Mathematics at OCCC and have taught at OSU-OKC as well. I was also the director of a homeschool co-op in Oklahoma City for six years. I am excited to be a part of Mosaic and look forward to helping your students find the joy of
learning mathematics.
