Hobbies
I love to read and come up with lesson plans for new ways to teach English. My most recent class I developed was teaching literacy through the use of hip hop. I love music, especially hip hop and jazz (which, believe it or not, both come from the same place). I also have a black lab puppy and I just love dogs.
