Hobbies
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and toddler, researching and reading on the internet, writing, watching game shows, traveling, and singing Karaoke at home with family. I spend a lot of time reading and learning new things. I take exceptional measures to plan engaging lessons using research-based learning strategies, and enjoy the art of teaching.
