Michelle Hayden - CEO and Cofounder

Michelle was raised in a house where math was talked about and encouraged. Her dad made a game of solving logic problems and practicing math skills when the kids were young, and they became convinced early on that math could be fun and easy. Michelle went on to major in math at the College of William and Mary and has been teaching - both in and out of the classroom - for the last 20 years. She and her husband live in Denver, CO with their two daughters - who used to do plenty of reading, but not nearly enough math in the summer. Contact Michelle.
