Teacher, hiker & backpacker, traveller, bird watcher, music lover

I teach fifth grade in a small public school just outside of Washington, D.C. My students forever amaze me with their abilities and creativity.

When I am not busy with my schoolwork, you might find me hiking in the Shenandoah Mountains or at Assateague Island National Seashore. Last summer, I visited Alaska for the first time and was amazed by the wide open natural beauty. Seeing grizzly bears and wolves in their natural habitat was surely a highlight of my life.

What I like most about Novica:

I love seeing what beautiful artwork people are creating in faraway places. I enjoy reading about individual artisans.
