I have been a classroom teacher for over 25 years. In 2006, I began ENTHUSIASTIC books and have spent my time writing stories and traveling to elementary and preschools, playing music and reading my stories to groups as large as 120 students at a time. I am a California native who moved my dog, 4 cats, 3 birds, a rabbit, tortoise and fish across the country to Vermont, where I lived on a farm for over five years. I love to use my animals as inspiration for my books and can’t help hiding a lesson/moral in every story.
