I am a working in Philadelphia, just recently moved back from Madrid, and hopping around from place to place :)

I am a teacher from the United States.

I read, run, nap, and laugh.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all types of music (isn't this everyone's answer?). I love music with a good beat but also a large selection of rock, hip hop, instrumental, classical, and everything in between!

I LOVE film and watching movies. I used to spend a great deal of my time watching both old and new movies in various languages. However I don't have time at the moment! I am a horror movie fanatic. Rosemary's Baby or some old school Vicent Price anyone?

I am currently reading pedagogical teaching books (possibly a bore for you but I can't stop haha). Many things in life can be learned through research and practice. I want to be the best teacher I can be! I did just finish "The Time Machine" by HG Wells and loved it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

My last group of 6 year olds became fluent in reading. Many were above grade level and LOVED to read. I was one proud teacher 😊

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: English/ tutor, calming techniques in stressful situations, what podcasts to listen to, how to make many different types of dishes, and a few other things
Learn: Spanish and new skills! Teach me one :)
Share: funny stories, life lessons, my wicked sense of humor. etc.

What I Can Share with Hosts

A positive outlook and smile :)

I am very clean. I will leave the space cleaner than I found it.
