DJ'ing, DJ'ing, and DJ'ing, need I say more! No, honestly I have more substance than that. Salsa and Samba dancing has my heart as well. Traveling is a must, along with attending baseball games.Love spending my Saturday afternoons at record stores listening to and buying vinyl.I love being a teacher. Working with kids is the most rewarding and sometimes the most exhausting aspect of my life. It's making a difference and seeing children smile that makes me love what I do. I enjoy helping kids get into shape, cuz' LORD knows they need to. Parents-Stop letting your kids eat those SPICY HOT CHEETOS! :) MY BEST FRIEND-TIFF
