I am originally from Montreal, Canada. After graduating from Boston University with a Bachelor of Science degree and a teaching certificate, I instructed English in New Hampshire, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Texas for over thirty years. Now, I am a freelance English teacher and a jazz drummer. I have taken care of dogs for over 33 years. Presently, I have three canine children in my adoring family: a Pomeranian, a Shih tzo, and a German Shepherd mix. Every morning I complete a comfortable jog with all three of my children. I also take them to dog friendly restaurants, parks, and beaches. These angelic canines have become my new students since I have retired from teaching English. My passion for them is insurmountable. My two small dogs sleep on my Kingsize bed. My German Shepherd mix has his own queen size bed. Did I tell you that I am crazy about dogs? I also have a kennel in my backyard with an air conditioned dog house.
