About me

Industry	Education
Location	Wallingford, CT, United States
Introduction	I guess I would describe myself as a starving scientist and artist, or more directly, a teacher. During this horrendous economy I am repeatedly finding myself going in circles looking for a teaching position for elementary education. I plan on substitute teaching in Milford or Stratford. Hopefully something clicks soon. When I am not worrying about my teaching career, I am looking for houses with my JM of 7 years. We plan to move to either Morris Cove or the valley. We are looking for an old colonial with 9' ceilings, a walk up attic, hardwood floods, and a yard with lots of trees for me to hang my hammock. I love JM, family, dogs, love stories, beautiful photographs, cucumbers, red, orange and yellow, skirts, flip flops, Phantom of the Opera, going to school, cold air blowing on my face and clean feet.
Interests	teaching, knitting, crochet, sewing, quilting, cooking, bicycling, yoga, house hunting, shopping at anthropologie, furniture browsing, beach, casino. I am very excited!! i just picked up several children's books on drawing and cartooning...i hope to create beautiful illustrations and possibly picture books one day, soon! I am currently reading a text book about classroom management.
