About

I am a tour director and guide with a background in education and educational consulting. As a former group tour groupie I am thrilled to be leading tours myself now. I love to stretch myself and grow. My least favorite subject was math. In my quest to be a great math teacher I became a math consultant and even wrote a book about teaching math. I am always stretching myself and learning. I think that you never truly grow old if you constantly challenge yourself.
