Hello and welcome.
I am an educator, writer, and avid Tolkienian. I have been a classroom teacher and professor for twenty-six years, and spend my time outside of the classroom trying to eek every last bit of experience out of my day; I have a hard time sitting still. I am a mom, a writer, a gardener, seamstress, crocheter, dog lover, gnome enthusiast, officiant, and tinkerer. In my spare time I spend as much time outdoors exploring new places on my bike.
