My life leading up to this trip:
I was a NC Teaching Fellow and attended
from
1994-1998. This is my 8th year teaching, but I haven’t taught
for 8 years straight. I have had the great fortune of being able to travel
quite a bit, so every once in a while I take a year off and try living in a
different country for awhile. So far I have made it to Canada
,
Mexico
,
Ecuador
,
Australia
,
New Zealand
,
Japan
,
and most if the 50 states
(including
Alaska and Hawaii…our endeavor this summer will take care of any states I
may have missed in my travels!) One of my goals in life is to visit all 7
continents before I die (I have 3 to go… 4 if you count mainland Asia.) I
have my National Board Certification and currently teach high school Social
Studies. I am also working on getting my Master’s Degree in Instructional
Technology from
,
a program that is completely online, I never have to set foot on campus
(technology is an amazing thing!) I love teaching history, but who knows
where this new degree may take me. I believe in following your dreams,
taking advantage of
every opportunity that comes your way (even if it’s risky,) and curling up with a good book (preferably in a hammock on a beautiful day) in my free time (which isn’t as often as I would like.)
Currently my favorite pastime is spending time with my “new” husband (we got married June 2, 2007) and our dog and two cats.
