I am a retired educator/ workshop presenter and writer. During my career, I was results driven, highly creative, profoundly knowledgeable, disciplined, and passionate about teaching elementary and high school students. I received awards for my teaching, won a fellowship for writing, and had lessons for life published in the Cleveland Plain Dealer Newspaper. I was also a long distance track and field coach. Two students became teachers because of me and I’ve been honored at The Hall of Fame and weddings of former students. I was in love with teaching and so I excelled at it. Growing up in NYC I was also in love with fashion and modeling and was afforded a few opportunities. Now that I’m a retired educator, I would love to dedicate time modeling. Education and modeling are complementary. They both require poise, confidence, creativity, speaking skills, discipline, passion, and more. What most impresses me about fashion besides the clothes is that modeling pictures show such joy. I feel that joy is the greatness of being alive.
