Arlene proves that learning and joy go hand in hand! When she's not in the classroom or developing curriculum, you might find her gliding around the roller rink with the grace of someone who believes that balance, both literal and metaphorical, is key to a life well-lived. Her love for dancing keeps her connected to rhythm, movement, and the pure joy of creative expression, qualities that naturally flow into her dynamic teaching style. As a prolific author of eight books, Arlene practices what she preaches about the power of written communication. Her passion for writing extends far beyond academic necessity, it's a creative outlet that keeps her mind sharp, her ideas fresh, and her appreciation for the written word genuine. Whether she's crafting educational materials or her next manuscript, she brings the same enthusiasm for storytelling and clear communication that makes her such an engaging educator.
