I am a graduate of Oakland City University in Indiana and Trevecca University in Nashville, Tennessee. I have a passion for teaching English as a Second Language to immigrants of all ages. I also have taught all the subjects in elementary school and enjoy working with students at that level. I believe that every student can learn and make progress. Learning can be fun and definitely should not be boring. I taught in the Little Kids Rock guitar program for several years and enjoy using music, especially with younger students. Sometimes a song can be just the thing to move students along in learning a concept.

My interests include boating, camping, fishing, playing chess and playing guitar.
