Hello! I am a 42 year old high school teacher. I have an 17 year old son, Jonathan Scott and a 10 year old daughter, Hallie Grace. We are Christians. You can watch our church service online at Oasisla.org. There is a live host to type comments. When I have free time I love to go to watch plays and movies. Reading is one of my other favorite things to do. My favorite time to read is at night in bed before I go to sleep.

JAMES DEAN IS MY FAVORITE ACTOR.

I have lived in Los Angeles, California for five years now. Both of my children are into acting and modeling.

I teach students will ID=Intellectual Disabilities at Belmont Senior High in downtown Los Angeles, CA www.belmonths.org. My students range in age from 14-21 years old.
