" Life is not what one lived, but what one remembers and how one remembers it in order to recount it. - Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Living to Tell the Tale
I have taught in a wide range of settings, including on canoes in the swamps and Everglades of Florida, in Armenia while in the Peace Corp, at a private boarding arts academy on the top of a mountain and in a small-town Idaho public school. In each place, I gained greater respect and awe for how passion, excitement and pride in achievement can breathe life into learning. When not teaching, I spend my time with my wonderful husband, witty son, hilarious daughter and our very sweet chickens.
