About Me
I'm a career professonal educator and spent 22 years teaching chemistry before becoming involved in technology and student assessment. I now serve as an Assistant Principal at a 10-12 secondary school in east central Alabama. My work takes up the majority of my time, but in spare moments, I love reading, photography, and travel. And shoes. And ice cream...definitely ice cream!Blogroll
