I also have a passion for stories and the written word, so English is another favorite subject...

I excelled in all my other subjects, but Math was a different beast. In High...

...I "retired" from that career when my children were born and I began teaching these subjects after my children started school. My son and daughter are now both in college.

In my free time I enjoy making quilts, birdwatching, and genealogy. I love traveling everywhere (local or abroad).

I especially enjoy helping students with the early stages...
