I am an elementary school teacher on the south side of Tucson. I teach second grade this year. Although my class is interesting, I found I really prefer third. I have also taught bellydance for five year after school for ages k-5.

I have 2 boys. The oldest is 19 (yikes) and my youngest is 13. My older son still has not found his place in life. Orion, however has started his journey to becoming a great musician. He plays trumpet, double and electric bass as his main instuments. He also plays guitar, keyboard, and middle eastern drums. He is playing in six music groups! Three groups he plays in are at the Arizona Jazz Academy, They are currently looking for sponcers to go to Europe this summer and play in 7 festivals. If you know of anyone who would want to help contact me.

I was very fortunate several years ago and met Mark. He has been an incredible support and my best friend. We have been happily married for the last 6 years.

I am an American Tribal Fusian Bellydancer. I currently dance and have performed in the troupes of Midriff Crisis, Lykiska, Veils of Mystery, and Daughters of Fatima. My latest adventure is that I am learning to spin fire!
