About Me

  • About Me: I'm a survivor: of my first year of teaching, of moving around lots and lots, of camping in the woods of Wisconsin. All of these things have made me a stronger person. I'm a creator: of house renovations, of scrapbooks, of various written expressions I'm a complainer: about slow drivers, about irresponsible rude people, and about being forced to walk in the rain I'm a lover: of sarcastic humor, of reading, of decorating, of fun chats with students, of writing, of dogs, of Netflix, of my family, of God (list given in no particular order though the last two items on it are the most important to me)
