Marcey has been involved in education since 1959. Really! After completing her experiential research at the age of 21, she continued with reality based research in classroom teaching, parenting and world travel. (OK, Do the math on her age). She has survived parenthood, New Math, redistricting, menopause, hiking the Grand Canyon and the Alps and getting 15 year old boys into tights*.

Criss crossing the country from Pennsylvania to Florida, Ohio, Missouri and finally Michigan, her experience spanned public, private, charter and home education, forging her unique view point on lifelong learning and successful education in spite of the circumstances.

Marcey then went on to earn her "Masters in Reality" with a major in Parent/Child Relationships. Since 1983 she has worked full time as an educational performer and education consultant and, since 2000 as a professional speaker. She is the founding producer of the Michigan Youth Theater and a contributing member in the local professional speakers chapter in Michigan, Optimists International and is a Professional Member of the National Speakers Association.

But what really matters is what Marcey can do for you and your needs. She brings a fresh, real-world perspective, backed up by personal, hands on experience of working with over 40,000 kids each year and her problem solving work with parents and educators as she has travelled the world. Her audiences laugh and learn as they experience this dynamo present powerful, usable ideas designed to solve their real-world problems.
