| Introduction | This is my place to collect and share what interests me. I love solving problems and sharing ideas. I am an elementary teacher with a particular interest in gifted/talented students. I am especially interested in igniting an interest in reading and exposing my students to creativity enhancing activities.I have other interests besides teaching. I am a former bodyworker, and I'm exceedingly interested in good food, although I don't love to cook after a long day of teaching. I've come up with solutions that I would like to share with people who are interested in that! It's relaxing to have a pot bubbling on the stove on the weekends. Also, I like to get outside for a hike on the weekends and I'm working on going to the next level in my Pilates journey. I don't let perfection get in the way of good enough. Finally, I think getting your mind right is the key to success. |
| Interests | Learning critical and creative thinking skills, Pilates, hiking, gardening, reading, and I'm becoming quite good at making chicken soup. |
