Hi Potential Students! I'm someone who loves life and getting to know people. I love all things food, people, cooking, and writing! I am a traditionally published author of two books, and have nine more on the way! I'm a wife, mom, sister, friend, and active member of my church. My favorite things to do, are to find new recipes with protein (especially if they're cheesy ;) , write or read a new great book, spend time with my family, exercise, and teach classes :) I love to laugh, but I don't shy away from a conversation where a student is sad when they need encouragement in an area. I love to sing, and listen to deep music. My life goal is to always listen, with empathy, but to always look towards the present and future with a SMILE! I truly believe that there is ALWAYS a possible positive outcome. And I refuse to believe that there is a situation where no hope can be found. My students always tell me that meeting me, helps them to believe in themselves and their goals. This is exactly what I want to hear!
