Hobbies

I am an approachable teacher with a knack for tuning in to the unique learning style of each individual student. I believe that if fun and humor aren't a part of the learning experience, something's wrong! When I'm not teaching, reading, or writing, I like playing the guitar, birding, and rethinking the relationships of human beings to nature.
