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 recently returned to work with Florida Virtual School after being gone for a few years.  Before that I taught 6th grade Social Studies and was a Technology Integration Specialist at Calvary Christian Academy in Fort Lauderdale, FL and taught American Sign Language at DeSoto High School.  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. 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.
