I have always thought education was important. Education sets you free, it opens doors that often would remain closed. I consider it a priviledge to assist someone in continuing their education. I enjoy teaching at Shenandoah because its mission includes assisting individuals to realize their dream of education.

Professional Highlights

I recently accompanied a team from Shenandoah to Vieques, off Peurto Rico, on an alternative Spring Break Mission trip. It was wonderful to see the students give so much of themselves and all their hard work. We completed an awesome concrete sidewalk that was greatly needed by the church community.

I enjoy reading and needlework when I have time and am learning Spanish and Tai Chi.
