About MeI am the proud and
EXTREMELY busy mom of three boys (14, 7 and 19 months), therefore I do not have much time for anything besides school
work and keeping everyone on "schedule"! I love Social Sciences and teach several subjects at Hot Springs High School (Sociology, Psychology,
and U.S. History) where I have been employed for the last ten years as an
instructor.
