Bio
I am a 50+ person who have not lost my sense of fun or hard work. My experience ranges from mothering,teaching, leadership, development, editing and writing, oration - I can hardly believe it myself!
The testimonies of those I have worked with and for will speak for themselves. I am a very empathetic person by nature and can quickly identify the root cause of a problem. I treat my students with respect and dignity. I believe in empowering others and can adapt quickly to any given environment. Lastly, I can remember what it was like to be a student and always try to place myself in their shoes
