One of my passions is home decorating and refurbishing. I have lived in several homes or apartments and manage always to fulfill my desire. Love to watch HGTV shows. I enjoy crafts and things creative. Feel strongly about action films and heroic characters, female or male.

About Me

I am a teacher by profession. I have taught elementary, high school, and college subjects; I love the challenge. I did well in college...summa cum laude and love learning and the written word. I earned my graduate degree in Education enjoy helping others in their learning and growing process.

Experience

During one of my jobs at a junior college, I volunteered to go into the community and talk to groups at various age levels about their career paths and/or making a job or career change. Also, they learned what was needed to effect a meaningful makeover. At one time in my career, I volunteered with the Literacy Volunteers in my area and taught a Spanish-speaking mother and daughter in learning the English language. They had just arrived from Latin America.

Approach

During my formative years in elementary school, I felt very inferior. It seemed the teachers were not very understanding of my problem. Their contribution to finding ways to build my self-esteem was wanting greatly. In high school, I improved my self-image through the support of family. They encouraged me to strive for whatever made me stronger and fostered my growth. Therefore, because of my own experiences, I vowed if I ever became a teacher my approach to students would be constant praise.
