Hobbies
I am a patient down-to-earth teacher who works well with identifying struggling students interests and using those interests in lessons in order to help students succeed. My hobbies include reading and creative writing. I love the beach and the ocean. I am outdoorsy individual who enjoys nature and gardening. I also like to go crabbing and occasionally fishing. My husband is a hunter so I am familiar with all aspects of hunting; I even accompanied him on a mountain lion hunt in Montana. I have a dog and two cats; and love all animals.
