My goal as an educator has always been to acknowledge what my students know, and then give them tools to help them learn what they don't know. I graduated from A.C.U. in 1986 and retired in 2019. I have taught all ages and subjects. I am an Academic Language Therapist specializing in working with students with Dyslexia. In my last teaching assignment, I taught Theatre Arts to Middle School students. I helped these students produce one-act plays for competition and to perform Musicals. I love words and stories, which means I am very passionate about all things reading. Working with students through Varsity Tutors has been very rewarding. Getting to work with students of all ages who live in all parts of the nation is challenging but well worth the challenges, especially the challenge of navigating the different time zones! I look forward to the journey of learning new things alongside my students.

Hobbies

I love spending time with my family. My husband and I have three children who are 28 (yes, they are triplets). We have two grandsons aged 2 and 1. I love reading books of all kinds. My favorites are Historical Fiction and Fantasy Fiction. My least favorites are Horror stories. (I tend to have nightmares.) I have read some graphic novels but generally do not choose those. I love playing games. I am not a cut throat player, I want to play games to have fun and learn things. I do enjoy the new games like the Harry Potter Hogwarts Battle where all players win or all players lose. I enjoy organizing events for small groups and I like to cook. I am not a great house keeper. I like to travel, but I have learned that big crowds make be nervous! (That may be an after effect of COVID.) I like to watch some sports and I enjoy going to live Theatre performances and concerts. I like all kinds of music except wild Rap and Jazz.
