Hobbies and Interests

I enjoy spending my time helping children and families however I can. Each year, I run the local holiday toy drive. I also provide tutoring services for battered women who are trying to get their GEDs to become more self-sufficient. Outside of education and outreach, I enjoy music, video games and a good sale.
