In her own words

" I was always the kid with an over-active imagination and constantly daydreaming, especially during school. I just knew that there was a ghost in every house, that all moths and butterflies were really fairies and that if I touched enough of them I would be able to fly. Drawing, photography and writing became my creative outlets.

As a teacher, the motto in my classroom is "Think outside the box". I tell my students that I don't want to read, "The brown dog crossed the road" (BORING!). Instead I want to read, "The brown shaggy dog jumped, hopped and skipped across the rocky road and bought himself a taco". (Now that's a story I can get lost in!)"



Imagination is an awesome tool!
