What advice would you give to your online students?
Communicate with me if you have any concerns.

Compassion, flexibility and passion for the subject matter being taught.

What do you do when you need a laugh?
When I need a laugh, I watch "Frasier" or "Boston Legal" reruns. My little Pomeranian, Cotton, also serves as an endless source of entertainment for myself and my husband.
Tell us something your students may not know about you:
I'm a native Floridian. I enjoy the beach and deep-sea fishing when I get the opportunity. Eighty degrees and sunny is my favorite kind of weather.
