I'm a Veteran who grew up helping my European family and friends in need. One of them was deaf and mute, always feeling integrated into our group of friends. Additionally, my career as a Forensic Scientist helped me with uncomfortable situations that are not for laymen. I've travelled the world, and lived in foreign cultures among diverse people. I had students with ADD, ADHD, food allergies, medical issues that I also understand scientifically, socially, and emotionally. I am highly educated and challenging of good conversations, a polyglot with plenty of room to grow. I'm an avid reader, a big fan of museums and other artistic activities, ready for new students to discover the amazing world around us and within.
