About me

I am an educator, wife, mother, grandmother and friend. I have been teaching for all of my adult life and I have to say that it is a perfect fit for me. I work with middle school-aged kids and I love it! I work in the private sector and cannot imagine doing anything else!

I write to share knowledge gained over the years, to force myself to gain more knowledge as I research, and because it is just plain fun. It is a challenge for me, a wordy teacher, to complete succinct articles. I enjoy editing and rewriting to create a more perfect article. Helium challenges me like no other site that I write for and I absolutely love writing here.

Why I write ...
