MPA (public admin) from Troy State University (while running an overseas program for NATO personnel).PhD in botany from Duke University. Gemology credentials from GIA.I write fiction and am interested in a MFA or MS in publishing. Always a student! I have tutored classroom (college) and online (HS) courses in math (e.g. algebra), botany, biology, physical, environmental, and life science. I also have experience with remedial English and ESL. In addition to science, I would like to tutor writing and English courses. Although I am progress driven, I also have a sense of humor. I love to laugh. I am interested in reading, writing, gems and minerals, nature, travel, and hiking. I love animals.
