CURRENT MISSION
Traveling in my homeland, New England and connecting with parts of my past while creating my new life goals.

ABOUT ME

I love to write, hike, paddle on the water, play with friends, help children experience something new in the world in my teaching.
I love my friends, my family, my students, the new person I meet on the bus.
I love nature, the smell of the forest after it rains and the light glimmering through the drops on the leaves.

When we meet you'll notice I wear a brace, to give my leg some of the strength it lost in an accident many years ago. So I walk with a cane and travel/hike with crutches. Feel free to ask me about this. It gives me a different perspective and experience on this great journey through life.

PHILOSOPHY

Follow your heart, you'll never regret a thing.
