TEACHER TRIVIA

• I am an illustrator at heart and love to draw.
  
• My favorite subjects are ART, HISTORY and GEOMETRY.
• I LOVE sports and still like to play basketball.
  
• My favorite teams are the St. John Eagles, the Taft Rhinos, the Gunnery Highlanders, and the Notre Dame Fighting Irish.  
  
• My favorite color is red but I bleed blue and gold.
  
• I am a New Jersey native, a former New York City resident & a Connecticut transplant so I cheer for both the Yankees and the Red Sox.
  
• I wish I knew how to play the piano well.
  
• I happily use technology in every class, every day.
• If I won the lottery I would travel to every state in the US and to every country - at least once.
  
• I have been lucky to travel to many great places - my top 5 (so far) are Rome, Italy, Athens & Santorini in Greece, Chichen Itza & Tulum in Mexico, County Clare & County Kerry in Ireland and the Hawaiian Islands.
• The most wonderful feeling is that moment when you are struck by your inner creative genius - the AHA! moment.
• I believe that every person has the ability to be creative and to create art.
  
• My students often hear me say "A drawer is a sliding box that can be filled and is part of a piece of furniture - you are an artist or an illustrator or a draftsman - you are not a drawer"
