Summary
Although I taught for 35 years and continue to substitute teach into my tenth year of retirement, I always wanted to be an archaeologist. I know that I was meant to be a teacher and found it hard to retire. I decided to pursue archaeology in my retirement, and I have had a variety of opportunities, all overseas, all of which I have loved every minute of. I have the perfect balance with my substitute teaching making my archaeological dreams a reality and I hope to continue to do both for years to come.
