I am now a retired ESL teacher. I used to also teach computers to adults. Now I am a bus monitor who loves to play with the children and watch them before and after school. I love to draw, tell stories, and make people laugh. I enjoy making up new games and creating Printables for both classrooms and families alike. In a former life I used to also teach day care and Sunday School. I like to keep busy and live my best life. In doing so, I also like to create products that encourage others to do the same. Mental health is a big deal to me and taking time to relax and slow down with a coloring book and pencil crayons or my iPad are a priority.
My teaching style is light and care-free. When working with adults, mostly seniors, I often had to repeat things or make things funny in order for my students to remember what they were learning.

After leaving high school without completing my last year due to an unexpected pregnancy, I finally went back for my GED 10 years later. With that, I entered college to complete a business management diploma program. Later on, I started my own Virtual Assistant/Ghostwriting business and after 12 years of learning everything I could in relation to Internet Marketing, I quit my service business and started teaching with my own lessons.
Mom of 4, a grandmother of 3(so far), I am also a life-long learner who is interested in anything from theology to ancient history and everything in between. I find therapy in coloring and crafting (my glue gun is as much a prized possession as my pencil crayons are) I have ADHD and have learned the importance of working with my strengths and keeping myself busy and engaged to create my best work. I believe you can have a full, successful life regardless of the different way your brain works. I aim to prove that! If you can't find me in my craft room, I am most likely baking in the kitchen or playing games with my kids.
