My passion is the excitement in my soul, my pose, the way I walk and how I engage people. I have struggled throughout life raising children and working in institutions that has created such a humbling foundation for me. I have been working with food and people all my life. My passion is to teach and work directly with individuals of different ethnic backgrounds because you are constantly learning. I am really moved by peoples individual stories about their personal life. I am very passionate about, cooking, teaching the Family and Consumer Science curriculum, traveling, talking, listening to others, party planning, learning  pure academics and to ultimately communicate and be effective.
