I love teaching Social Studies, I honestly have the best job in St. Paul Public Schools

Hobbies include: reading, traveling, trying new restaurants, going to plays and museums, hiking and watching Downton Abbey on PBS.

Travel includes 40 U.S. states and 17 countries and I’m always looking for the next place to go! – Maybe Mississippi, Alabama and the Gulf Shores?

I love to recommend and have books recommended to me. – I am currently reading Bossy Pants by Tina Fey.
