At the basic level, I am a rippler. Someone who likes to make positive ripples wherever I go.

I'm a stair-climber because every day, I want to be better than I was yesterday. I also really believe in supporting and helping others do the same. My students all knew this was the mantra I lived by. Here it is:

Working together - to better ourselves, each other, and the world around us.

I appreciate many things: people, opportunities, feelings and I love to share my appreciations with others.

Often make hand-made cards to give others to appreciate them. Send quick texts or emails to people to thank them. Verbally share my appreciation for big and little things.
