Hobbies
I have been a teacher for most of my life and continue to teach because I enjoy working with children and watching them grow. I try to make learning fun and am very flexible in my teaching methods which are dictated by the situation, the child, and the particular problem he/she is having. I enjoy learning and strive to pass that along to them as well. In my spare time I can be found writing or watching over turtles on the North Shore while educating the public about their importance in the oceans of the world. I am also an environmentalist and worry about what is happening in our oceans and to our wildlife and the effect this will ultimately have on our children and grandchildren.
