Personal Interests
Over the years my greatest satisfactions have been teaching and leading students in study abroad groups. My students have studied in Mexico, Costa Rica, Spain, Ecuador, the Galapagos Islands, Peru, Bolivia and Belize. I've had the privilege of working with students who have grown tremendously and are now giving back in many ways.
