About Me - What you should know about me...

I am a teacher. I have been teaching for nearly two decades. I wonder at the potential that incorporating technology into the classroom can offer.

I'm not afraid to try new things, I just need to be motivated to go for it.

What is your favorite food?

I love the food I grew up with, Filipino food... SINIGANG is a sour soup that is my favorite.

What is your favorite type of music? Who is your favorite musician?

I am not picky with music. I find that all kinds of music speak to me. What I like depends on my mood. I listen to classical music as well as jazz. Rock classics keep me awake while driving. You might see me behind the wheel of a car, singing to the tunes on the car radio gesturing the drums or acting like a rock star.

What is your favorite place? why?

The lobby of the Grand Teton Lodge in Wyoming is majestic. Glass panes that span two stories give you a magnificent view of the Grand Teton mountain range...awe inspiring...

What is your favorite holiday? why?

Christmas is the most beautiful holiday, in my opinion. In the Philippines, it is the longest holiday season. And every home starts putting up decorations as early as September. The night skyline is lit up with Christmas lights, and the streets are lined with small stalls selling seasonal delicacies.

What do you teach?:

I teach English to high school students in a public school in Queens. They range between 9th graders to 11th graders.

Where do you teach?
