spending time with my family, learning, playing my Ukulele, dancing and hiking

On my own time, while not dedicating my strength and energy to students, I like to spend time with both of my children, I attentively focus on assisting them with their studies so they can succeed and have great learning experiences in the classroom. I also enjoy playing my Ukulele and participating in open mic nights. One of my favorite ways to stay active is to go Salsa dancing and to hike.
