* I am a voracious reader! (Tell me your interests, and I'll come up with a book suggestion for you...)
* I also love to write, and can often be found journaling, working on short stories or poems, even (gasp) writing letters and cards to mail to friends and family.
* Tigers are quite possibly my favorite creatures on this earth (honestly), so you are likely to see some around my classroom.
* Photography is a hobby of mine; I especially enjoy taking photos of all the glorious nature we have here in Oregon.
* I rarely say no to a cup of coffee. ; )
* Music is my friend and constant companion. I love to sing, play piano, and I'm starting to learn acoustic guitar.
Listening to a lot of jazz lately...here's the song I sang for my Senior Solo at South Eugene High School's Night of Jazz, sung here by Sarah Vaughan, who could sing it much better than I ever could...
