“Reading, and learning, and language - these are some of my favorite things! As an educator, I have the privilege of introducing students to the magic of books and the power of the written word and hopefully to inspire them to be lifelong learners.”

As a communications professional and creative writer, I have immersed myself in crafting with words and images for many years. Reading fueled my imagination as a child and set me on a lifelong quest to learn as much as I could, to explore the world around me and to create with language.
