Having taught since the mid-'80s, I continue to find joy in teaching. I'm constantly amazed by how much I learn from my students. Their boundless curiosity motivates me, reminding me that there's always more to discover and understand. As the saying goes, "Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you can easily carry" (author - unknown).

Childhood

My story: My parents gave me the gift of a happy childhood, for that I am very grateful. Even though we moved often, when I remember little glimpses of those carefree days living in Libya, Texas, Washington D.C., Virginia, and Iran, I smile at the memories. Those years moving numerous times helped me develop a sense of acceptance and love of adventure.

Dauphin Island

I held a small shark! I can't believe how much I enjoyed this trip to Dauphin Island; every day was filled with experiences beyond my expectations.

Italy

A few years ago, I traveled to Italy with my niece. I especially enjoyed the pottery spots like Deruta and Gubbio. Someday, I hope to return to Deruta to take pottery classes. The pottery schools in Deruta are famous for their majolica artwork. This small pottery town lies close to Perugia where they make some of the best chocolate in the world.  It cannot get much better than that... Pottery and Chocolate.
