I was born in Moldova in the former USSR.  I came to the USA
when I was 11.  I have a Bachelor's degree in Computer Engineering
and a Master's degree in Elementary Education.  Some of the
careers I've had include working as an engineer, selling real
estate and insurance, working as IT for a diamond company,
teaching middle school math and teaching computer classes at
a community college.  I love teaching my students about the world
around them and how to use materials in many different ways
other than what they are designed for.  I hope to inspire my
students to be curious life long learners.  I have 3 amazing children
and 2 ok cats and enjoy playing pickleball, basketball and
​crocheting in my free time.
