I really believe that I was born wearing glasses with a book in one hand and a piece of chalk in the other. Teaching has been my passion for as long as I can remember. I have loved my 36 years in public education and it was with tremendous trepidation that I retired in June 2007. However, there is life after retirement! I work for Weight Watchers, supervise students in the Graduate School of Education at Rutgers with student teaching, and work in my chiropractor's office.

I began my Tai Chi journey in October 1996 with my first "demo" lesson, and was immediately hooked. I continue to take classes as often as I can and plan to continue learning, refining, and sharing Tai Chi for the rest of my life. At present, I am teaching Tai Chi at The Stein Assisted Living Residence, in Somerset New Jersey. The residents are enthusiastic doing Tai Chi. They  have experienced physical improvement in their range of motions, and in their ability to concentrate. I am beyond thrilled about being able to bring this "Elixir of Life" to my new found friends.
