                                My teaching philosophy is to facilitate critical thinking in all subject matter.  While you will forget dates, names and detail;
                                if you apply the information learned to current and future life experiences the learning evolves and is highly applicable
                                to self-actualization.

                                 Personal interests include reading, sailing and rescuing cats living on the street and finding them homes.                   
                                 I am also an aerobics instructor (30 years) and currently teach classes at Powerhouse Gym at Channelside.
