I am a NYS certified K-12 Music teacher with a B.S. in Music Ed. from the State University at NY at Fredonia and a M.Ed. in General Education (online) (minor in Technology Education) from the State University of NY at Buffalo as well.
For fun, I like to shop (My husband says I have a shoe fetish), scrapbook, cook and experiment with new recipes, edit personal photos and home videos, write poetry, spend time with my family, and of course write and edit for Bright Hub!
