I am fascinated with dogs and even more fascinated by children. I love holding conversations with young learners. I have a doctoral degree in Education and a master's in Reading Education. And so, a big part of this club is to enjoy stories, jokes, and news about dogs. I also have special training on Stephen Covey's 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. I have a strong desire to coach children in developing leadership skills. This is crucial for their future success - and happiness - in life.Reviews
