Who Am I????
I am someone who wears many hats: a wife, mother, teacher, sign language interpreter, photographer, mission team leader, and a proud Christian who has been blessed in my life. In all I do I hope to make a difference in the world and in the lives of those I come in contact with. I haven't figured out that ONE thing in life I want to do so in the mean time I will just do a little of everything.
Wife/Mother - I have a great family! Check out my family page for pictures and info.
Teacher - I currently teach 6th grade Social Studies and am a Technology Integration Specialist at Calvary Christian Academy in Fort Lauderdale, FL. I am Florida certified to teach K-6, Middle Grades 5-9, Business 6-12 and American Sign Language. While most of my teaching experience has been teaching ASL at the high school level, I have also taught K4/K5, Intensive Reading, Algebra, Social Studies 8-10th grades and taught online for a year with Florida Virtual School. My education training includes a Master's in E-Learning, another in Educational Leadership and I just started my PhD in E-Learning Leadership with Trident University International.
Sign Language Interpreter - My BA is in Sign Language and International Studies and I am certified to teach ASL in the schools. I am currently working on getting my National Certification for Interpreters. I recently took and passed the written portion (laws and ethics) of the test and will go to take the performance section this fall.
Photographer - I love to take pictures and to create photo DVDs and photo books. Check out my photography and video page for some of my work.
Mission Team Leader - I've been going to Haiti since 1998 and started taking teams in 2000. I've taken many trips down and have worked even more so since the earthquake on Jan. 12, 2010. I have lots of information about our work at www.themissionhaiti.com.
Christian - What can I say? I love Jesus and I hope my life is a reflection of Him and His love.
