| Passions |
My family consumes much of my energy outside of my professional world. Even though my son is now in college, he continues to be a huge part of my life. I am an animal lover and have a boxer named Sammy. I have many friends and spend a lot of my time talking with them on the telephone. I also love the coastal region and frequently visit my two brothers who live in that area. We enjoy fishing, canoeing, sunbathing, scalloping, and cooking and eating fresh seafood. |
| Must Reads |
The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey is definitely a book that speaks to me .Reading this book is always inspirational to me in terms of my personal life as well as my professional life. He seems to be a very wise and principled man. Since most educators enjoy reading fiction for relaxation, I highly recommend Anne Rivers Siddons’ books, particularly Outer Banks and Colony. She develops her characters very well which keeps the readers’ interest and makes the reading fun. |
