About Me

"I have a BA in history and political science, and am certified to teach. Now I'm employed in a library, but seeking a teaching position. I have many interests, including history, government, science, space exploration, science fiction, computers, movies, many types of music, traveling, and more. I'm a determined advocate for environmental protection and animal rights. In warm weather I love to camp and swim. Also I enjoy going to sci-fi conventions. I try to always be open-minded, fair, and kind toward other people and to animals. Politically I'm quite liberal and religiously I'm agnostic, though am tolerant of other views, as I'm not a belligerent egoist. I'm usually reserved, but have a wild streak at times......"
