About Me

This is my 19th year teaching HS English. I have lived in two other countries and traveled to others. I like sharing community life and dinners, interesting conversations, enjoying nature, traveling, working on creative projects, listening to uplifting music, and getting to know people of all ages and walks of life.

When I'm outside,

I feel the deepest freedom.

I like

sun

and

clouds

and rain

and

snow.
