I have been a teacher for over 25 years. However, my experience does not hinder my enthusiasm for the learning process. I believe each individual learns when he/she feels comfortable. This allows for mistakes to become stepping stones on the way to mastery and I'm here to guide through each individual process with positive reinforcement, a dash of humor and fun interactions. My passion for learning is echoed in my teaching style. I am a life-long learner and have traveled through Europe, Asia, and Latin America. I have significantly grown through my time living in Bolivia, Italy, Nepal, and Mexico. These international posts gave me the opportunity to expand my cultural knowledge and be more open-minded. I strongly believe that we all, regardless of our age or background, continue to evolve not only academically but also in our day to day interactions with each other and with our surroundings. I enjoy reading, yoga, painting, meditating, hiking, dancing, and drawing.
