I am a graduate of Coker College in Hartsville, SC where I received a B.A. in Chemistry and minor in Biology with a focus in both Ecology and Theater. Since graduating, I have been an Ecology instructor and Public Speaking instructor for the Boy Scouts as well as a sales trainer for a major bookstore chain. I work well with all age groups, and I feel that with patience and a knack for being able to explain a concept in a dozen different ways, anyone can learn anything. Education is the key that opens the door to critical thinking, which is the key to everything else. I really enjoy extraordinarily long and complicated board games with friends as well as listening to podcasts that expand my knowledge, both trivial and otherwise.

Board games, video games, trivia, hiking, dinner parties, vacations, cooking, fine dining, building things from scratch.
