I bet you would like to know a little about me, so I will reveal a little about my education, professional and personal life:

I attended elementary, junior hight school (not middle called Middle School in the Dark Ages) and high school onLong Island, New York. At Allegheny College in PA I earned my MA, and I did my student teaching in a Collinwood HS, Cleveland. I then taught high school English in Levvittown, NY, Northbrook, IL and Seaford NY for eleven years altogether. I earned my MS in Humanities at Hofstra University on Long Island. I moved to Atlanta in 1976, and I began teaching Language Arts (no longet called English) at Lakeshore HS (now an elementary school) in south Fulton County for three years. I then transferred to North Springs HS in Sandy Spring and and taught there. I taught a little over 25 years at Fulton County schools. I was chosen as Star Teacher in 1988, 1989 and 1996 for North Springs HS, and in 1988, I was also chosen as Star Teacher for the Fifth Congressional District.

I was born in Jersey City, NJ, and moved with my family (I had not choice; I was two) to Long Island where my family moved into three different homes in Farmingdale, so I never had to change school districts. I have a brother retired from teaching English living in CA, a sister still working in the local library on Long Island. I married my husband Barry Kriegel 33 years ago in Atlanta and he has shuttled me all over the world. We have one daughter who graduated from Emory with an English major (what else?) and is now living in London working for Travelzoo. Reading is my true pleasure, and I am always reading at least one book. I have traveled with my husband and daughter to the 50 states, visiting Alaska and Hawaii twice. We have also traveled to the Bora Bora, Tahiti, Italy, Greece, Turkey, France, Spain, England (of course), Japan and Central and South American countries; so travel is another pleasure I enjoy.

I loved teaching and which is why I signed on with KSU as a Student Teacher Supervisor, where I have am beginning my third year. I have supervised TOSS for three semesters and MAT's students for two semesters.
