About Me

Originally from the United Kingdom, I have lived in the United States for over 32 years now.  Although I will always consider myself as an expatriate Brit, I am also a proud U.S. citizen :)

I am a second career teacher, deciding that since I had always wanted to be 'in the classroom' - it really wasn't too late to go back to school and add a degree in Education to my resume!

I have two children, Ben and Steph.  Ben is at college after 6+ years in the US Navy, and Steph is a world traveler, currently making Perth,  Australia her home. My husband, Paul, and I are enjoying life as empty nesters.

Teaching has become a joy in my life.  Every day is filled with thoughts about how I can be better.  How can I do more for my kids?

I love it.

When I am not worrying about my students or working to make my teaching better, I am either watching football (soccer), riding my horse, or hanging with my dog.  I fit the British cliche well.

I also drive a Mini - what color? British Racing Green, of course!
