Born in Manchester, NH and raised in Florida, Marcy Ringdahl earned her Bachelor of Science in elementary education at Nova Southeastern University.

While serving as a classroom teacher, Marcy was asked by several education related companies to represent their products as a trainer and facilitator.

Mrs. Ringdahl’s love for education and children is evident in her daily interaction with the faculty, staff, parents and students at Independence Academy, where she currently serves as Assistant Principal.
