Often students need additional time with a professional in a difficult content area. The personal, one-to-one time can make a significant difference in how a student grows to understand the material. It allows for questions a person might not be comfortable asking in a larger classroom. This opportunity leads to that wonderful "lightbulb" moment of progress.

Hobbies
I am an avid reader and writer. I enjoy being outdoors hiking, kayaking, camping whenever I can. I enjoy the mountains, creeks, wildlife, flowers, trees and rocks. The beach is a joy. I have two almost grown children, both pursuing their passions through education, art, work and service (AmeriCorp, MCC and UCC) Animals are also a part of my family. We have a dog, a cat and a grand-dog, as well as, several niece and nephew dogs and cats. I enjoy visiting and contributing to no-kill animal rescue organizations in Charlotte and Asheville. Laughter is essential. I am attempting to learn the ukelele, renew my piano skills and would very much like to throw some clay on a wheel and make a bowl or two. Life is meant to be an adventure!
