I'm the daughter of a travel agent and grew up traveling which morphed into planning long trips for my family as our boys grew. My husband and I continue to be independent travelers and usually have three or more trips in the works at any given time.
As a university professor, I coordinated our international teaching program in China and traveled that country extensively for a period of ten years.
I have compiled and edited over 40 textbooks for use in college classes. I retired to Annapolis in 2021 as a Professor Emeritus.
But deep down, I am a teacher at heart. Whether I am working with our youngest learners or helping visitors discover history on the streets of Annapolis my goal is to have people leave an experience with a take away.
In retirement I squeeze in a few long swims every week and enjoy needlepoint, many which have been done in my travels. Enjoy your tour of Annapolis.
