I am a happily married mom to two teenagers, and I teach English to international students. I'm patient, friendly, and like to laugh (I appreciate other's humour more than my own). I enjoy travelling and feel blessed that I am able to. Over the past twenty plus years, my students have taught me much about cultural differences and which aspects makes us universally human. Working with them gives me hope for the world. I'm still very busy parenting (I'm in the era of being 'the driver' to teens with plans & activities). But, I escape to books and concerts/plays as often as I can!
