I have a Diploma in Egyptology from Oxford College in England and a Certificate of Museum Studies from Harvard University. Iโve been to Egypt three times on personalized, educational tours. As a certified school substitute, I make the day more enjoyable - if it works out - by bringing an ancient Egyptian antiquity into the classroom, whether I'm teaching language arts, social studies, science, consumer economics, art or Native American studies. I've been captivated by ancient Egypt since I was 10 years old. And I feel it's my destiny to share my enthusiasm for and expertise on this beautiful and brilliant 5000-year-old civilization with all of you. I hope to see you soon for a class. I think you'll agree that The Egyptian Room is an attractive, fun and inspiring place to learn.
