CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I am an elementary school art teacher. I love to take time during the summer to travel, anywhere and everywhere! Im also very interested in learning about other peoples cultures, ways of life, etc... and teaching people about mine. I have an open mind to the world, and look forward to the new experiences I will get from this!

PHILOSOPHY

The power of intention is much sronger than most will believe. I fell in love with the movie, "What the Bleep Do We Know?" If you know it, bonus points.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am very fortunate to have so many wonderful experiences at my age. Most recently, in the summer of 2010, I drove out to the east coast, and west coast, putting nearly 10,000 miles on my car! Just this last summer I drove to Florida to witness Space Shuttle Atlantis' last flight close out the shuttle program. I was left speechless!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have many artistic talents that I love sharing with others. I also like to share the ideas I have about humanity, caring, believing in ourselves, and coming together as a whole.

I would love to hear about other cultures, their traditions, artwork, habits, food, and social aspects.
