Currently I am a public school teacher, working with gifted kids in grades 6,7, and 8. My previous life was spent in Tanzania, where My husband and I raised two kids and adopted a third, and spent 10 years developing income generating projects for women, developing a youth and leadership training center on a beach over looking the Indian Ocean, and having adventures that I hope to turn into books for children.

I have written a play on genocide that my students took to a competition, and hope to continue writing to support human rights issues in the schools. I write dramatic and educational materials in English and also Swahili!
