Hobbies
I love to read - especially science fiction, biographies and non-fiction. I own cats and love all things Star Trek. I play the piano for my church and also sing with the worship band. I have rescued and domesticated feral cats since 2007. My favorite moments are when the "Aha" moment (light bulb) comes on in a student's face - when they realize that concept or fact or subject is actually grasped; when they actually start to ENJOY school. I am a Science nut and use Science experiments to teach the scientific method to students. All subjects can be inter-related, and I strive to do so to the best of my abilities.
