She has also taught, TA'd, or tutored: Biblical Hebrew, French, Musical Theatre, Classical Greek, Church History, ESL, and children's art and coding.
In her free time, she works as a Spiritual Director and writes science fiction versions of hagiographies.
She loves Star Trek, especially the original series, and regularly curses the vowel pointing in Hebrew.
