Touch

I earned my BA in History from Thomas Edison State College and my M.Ed in Teaching English as a Second Language from The University of Pennsylvania. 


I love to travel and learn about other cultures. I've lived in Germany, Finland, Poland and the Slovak Republic. I've visited Switzerland, Austria, Estonia, Sweden, Japan, China and South Korea. I've tried multiple times to get to Copenhagen, Denmark but every time something prevents me. It's on my bucket list!


I am a passionate gardener of edible plants and hope to enroll in the Burlington County Master Gardener program this winter. I especially love hydroponics. I own about 30 Aerogardens and grow lettuce, tomatoes, and herbs of exotic origin that aren't sold in any grocery stores. I especially love gardening with the students and seeing how proud they are when they harvest and eat something they grew themselves.

 

Honorable mentions: crochet, cross stitch, way too many books, and a magnet for feline friends.
