I am Stacey Knechtel Bush and I’m very excited to be a Global Teacher in the Dual Diploma Program. I was born in Canada but have lived most of my life in the Ocala area of North Central Florida. I earned my bachelor’s degree from the University of Central Florida and my passion for teaching grows each year. I love to learn and have recently started learning to repurpose and refinish furniture and home decor for myself and friends. I have two grown children, 2 granddaughters, 2 grandsons and 1 grand dog named Max! I love to garden, cook and try new foods and being crafty and creative. I’m looking forward to a great year with the Dual Diploma Program.
