Certified Ethical Will Facilitator

I have been an educator for over 30 years. I taught 2nd and 4th grades and at that point fell in love with teaching social studies and history. I taught in the Education Department at Otterbein College for over 18 years, and I recently retired to develop my business as a personal historian. I have a Ph.D. in Instructional Design and Technology from The Ohio State University.
