Martha Gillespie

Martha Gillespie has been teaching reading/writing and art to students in elementary to junior high school since 1976 when she completed studies in elementary education and at Houston Baptist University. She also holds 2 advanced degrees in psychology. Teaching is not just about presenting facts. It is about being a learner oneself and showing students that learning should be fun if done the right way. Married to Bruce Gillespie and with 3 daughters and 5 grandkids, life has been a journey full of learning. Martha likes to encourage kids to do the next right thing and to create their dream so they can get passionate about it. Martha runs Twelve Oaks Farms, a working livestock and produce ranch.
