About Me

My photo
Tami
Who am I? I am an avid hiker and also love to fly-fish, especially in small mountain streams. I've been married for over 25 years and have raised two great kids. Until recently, I was a science teacher at a progressive high school in Tennessee, primarily teaching Anatomy/Physiology and Microbiology. I love teaching and trying to make science interesting for my students. This past year, I became Science Instructional Coach for my school district, and as such, work with all the science teachers in the county. My love for science spills over into my private life as well. The outdoors has always been my favorite place to be! My favorite place on earth is in the Great Smoky Mountains where I just feel like I am where I'm supposed to be. My alter ego was once an English teacher, and I supposed it is this part of me that makes me write. This is something I simply have to do to keep my sanity at times. Hopefully you will enjoy some of my ramblings.
