What excites me the most is watching them grow and flourish like a flower. Ever since I was a child I had this dream to help people. I have done a lot of chess teaching and coaching as well as mentoring children. I am a National Chess Master. Recently became a FIDE (World Chess Federation) Instructor. I added to that experience by getting my associate in arts at Nassau Community College, my bachelor of arts in English at the State University of New York at New Paltz, and my master of arts in special education at Grand Canyon University. I am dedicated to helping people.

I love to read, write, play games especially chess, spend time outdoors, watching professional baseball and hockey, and meeting people.
