As a Nationally Board Certified teacher with 36 years of varied teaching experiences, there is much I can share. I have developed and implemented numerous courses and curricula, organized and presented many workshops and written a text/independent study book. My professional history demonstrates my high energy and motivation, utilizing strong verbal and communication skills, with a focus on infusing creativity in my work.

Educational philosophy: Teach to be entertained!
