When a student has been struggling with a text, a concept or a skill and then the light bulb goes on in an "aha!" moment of enlightenment and understanding...those are the moments that I as a teacher live for, and those are the moments that I work towards every day. Your success is my success, plain and simple.

I am a voracious reader of both fiction and non fiction and an avid gardener and accomplished long distance and marathon runner. I also enjoy traveling our great country through family excursions and traveling the world through cooking culturally diverse and exotic cuisine. When possible, I try to volunteer for causes dear to my heart.
