...their needs and create lessons that the student will feel successful in completing while fostering their unique learning styles. When I am not teaching, I enjoy spending time with my family, learning new things, taking my dog for long walks and curling up on the porch with a good book or the latest "it" book.

I am an intuitive listener who likes to communicate with people and to analyze what they say in order to understand them, connect with them, and influence their growth into more optimistic and moral people.

I strive to make quality, personalized education available to students everywhere.
