I have a degree to teach Spanish but instead I teach English composition; I'm part Italian but on the weekends I play in a mariachi band. Sometimes I even confuse myself!

When I get the chance, I spend time traveling. One of my favorite places is Venice, especially during carnival!

Although I grew up in Illinois, I've spent most of the last twenty years living in Tucson, Arizona. We have 350 days of sunshine a year!

Afternoons are for swimming. When you come from the Midwest, you have a deep appreciation for warm weather!
