- Outside the classroom
I have three beautiful children who keep me busy, so hobbies are hobbies only when the time permits! I enjoy traveling, with my favorite destination being beaches. As a Florida resident, I do not have to travel far to enjoy many beautiful beaches! I am an avid college football fan, and I enjoy attending college football games when I can. I am a professional photographer in my spare time which I also operate as a small business owner. I actually find joy, passion, and relaxation in photography. I am unsure if my clients know that just creating special experiences for them, memorializing their happiest moments in life, and seeing them smile, brings me a sense of person fulfillment!
