Being an aunt is what I love most in my life right now, and nearly all of my free time is spent with my family. I love to travel and do so whenever I get the opportunity.
Biography
I have taught English classes for twenty-eight years to students in grades 7-12 and college. Other courses I have taught include logic, rhetoric, humanities, fundamentals of communication, and journalism. I have also coached and sponsored nearly everything there is and have directed more than a dozen plays.
