​I teach Gifted World Geography and CP US History at Collins Hill High School in Suwanee Georgia. I am looking forward to traveling to Japan and China this summer so I can incorporate more into my teaching about East Asia.

I grew up all around the country - was born in San Diego and lived there through 1st grade, then moved to Boston for three years and then lived outside Allentown, PA for 5th through 12th grade. I then moved back out to California to attend the University of San Diego. I met my husband in San Diego even though he is from Pennsylvania too! We moved to Los Angeles when I got hired for my first job and I taught in East Los Angeles for three years. My husband's job transfered him to Atlanta three years later and we have been living here for the past 12 years. We have a daughter named Mackensie who is seven - the only southern member of the family.

My past travels include most of the United States, Mexico, Canada (if you count Niagara Falls), Spain (1 month when I was 16 and stayed with my uncle who lived there), Finland (1 day) and the Soviet Union. I was lucky in high school when my high school started a program traveling to the Soviet Union where we went to talk to other high school students about how our countries could find peace with eachother. I visited Moscow, Leningrad and Minsk. These early travels to such varied countries started my love of travel and of seeing different cultures.
