Hi! I've been working for the Noncredit ESL program for almost 15 years. If you call for information, you most likely will talk to me. I enjoy working with ESL students as I'm always presented with challenging and interesting situations. I am married, have two grown children, and one fantastic grandson. I enjoy garage sales, swap meets, genealogy, and have a houseful of pets.
