Hobbies
I am an avid reader and enjoy making time for "fun" reading outside of my class readings. I have been involved with an organization called Teachers for Social Justice and attend their book club when I can. I love volunteer work, photography, writing snail mail, music, hanging out with my cat, and exploring the city in my free time.
