I am a small town girl who was born and raised in Upstate New York. That is up until five years ago! Five years ago I married the man of my dreams (Tarek) and we moved to central Virginia. I got my Bachelor's of Science degree in Psychology and Special education from Lynchburg College. I then went on to get my Master's of Education from the University of Virginia in Special education. I am now preparing to begin my voyage of the path of getting my PhD in instructional technology. I am a kid at heart and adore GOOFY! I also like writing short stories and poetry and I love animals.
