Hi!

I am an Elementary Education Math-Science teacher with a B.S. in Elementary Education and a M.A. in Technology Education and currently teach 6th grade Math & Science in Dayton, Ohio. I am a two time Best Selling Award Winning Children's Book Author. I recently was named the 2011  Dayton Public Schools Teacher of the Year. My philosophy is to make a difference one child at a time.

Through my books I can now reach hundreds, thousands and even millions of children to help them gain insight and respect for the environment, plants, animals and people, especially those who are different, and the elderly.

My latest children's book, "And The Tree Cried Out," is not only a children's book but a great tool for discussions about how our environment and our relationship with others are all connected and should always be respected.

I am currently working on "The Detour" which is a mystery for children of all ages.

Respect for others and their feelings means that we have a greater appreciation of how we treat our environment as we protect our future as well as the future of others.
