As a retired special educator, I have lots of experiences teaching students who struggle. I am ADHD, borderline autistic and gifted. I know all kids can and want to learn; I also believe in supporting families through difficult times. My students will tell you - I believe in EVERYBODY.

I bring data from genealogical research to life. I also interview people - using my writ9ing skills to tell their stories they way they would if they could write.

With 22 countries visited so far, including living in the Middle East and multiple trips to my Greek homeland and elsewhere, I write about being an untourist. I try to blend in and experience life as the natives. I write about the extraordinary in ordinary life.
