By Ethan Martinez




Being a Christian and a science teacher can be tricky. Fortunately, for Mrs. Booth, she is able to teach 6th-8th grade science and S.T.E.M. from a Biblical worldview here at G.C.A. She has been in the education field for 15 years and studied at St. Petersburg College. Get to know Mrs. Booth.


Why did you choose this job?

Originally, I wanted to become a lawyer or a medic but that didn't work. I had looked up to my own teachers and how good they were, so I chose to be a teacher.


What type of church did you go to when you were younger?

I went to Generation Christian Church before they moved from Tarpon Springs when I was younger.


How did faith tie into teaching?

My first 8 years were difficult due to the disapproval of basing my teaching on faith in the public school system.


What are your favorite things to do in your spare time?

Spend time with family like fishing, watching movies, hanging out with friends, and playing outside.


How has God helped you in life?

I think most of all through grace, picking up the pieces after my mistakes, revealing paths in my life, and most of all, his unwavering faith.


What is your favorite place to travel and why?

Areas with mountains because they’re cold and a change of scenery is also nice.


How has your career affected your family?

Since me and my kids are involved, our bond is much stronger!


Is it easy to teach and help your kids simultaneously?

At this stage they have become more independent, but reading is our bedtime routine so it’s sometimes hard but teaching helps to be more relatable in the same school but if we were in separate schools, it would be much more challenging.
