I grew up in Dix Hills, New York. I have a BA in Hebrew from Binghamton University (formerly known as SUNY-Binghamton) and an MA in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) from Teachers College-Columbia University. I moved to Israel in 1988, met Avi, forced him to marry me (or so he claims...) and had 3 kids. I have been teaching English as a Foreign Language at a Beer Sheva high school since 1989.

I used to enjoy riding horses and playing the viola. These days, I like to read and I will read practically anything that I can get my hands on (except for Avi's newspaper). My main "hobby" (Avi would call it an obsession), though, is playing around on the computer. Over the past few years, I have helped other people learn HTML (and other computer skills) in various places online. I was a Heartland Community Leader from December 1997 until April 2001 (I was even the Heartland Community Leader Liaison for 16 months). During my time as a CL, I was also an instructor at WebTech University, a great place to take classes in HTML and Paint Shop Pro (I actually took one of the PSP classes -- you can see my homework here). I have also been a "Yahoo! Expert" and I still answer questions at Askme.com. If you have a question or need help, please feel free to email me.
