Hobbies and Skills

I’m a nerd because I prefer reading and writing to just about anything else in life. I’m also a consumer and producer of all things scary, weird, and offbeat, including horror and science fiction stories. I used to be good at video games, but now I’m too busy to keep up. My other titles include lazy otaku, wilderness fanatic, and mom.

In one sentence, say what matters to you as it relates to the education of children.

The separation of child and adult holds back the development and fulfillment of both parties; therefore, true education occurs when all people involved approach learning with vulnerability, honesty, and eager curiosity.
