Lynne Podrat

I am a retired merchandise buyer, turned educator/Administrator, turned dog trainer and author. Throughout these transitions, I’ve become a grandmother to two precocious granddaughters, I’ve returned to writing poetry, a children’s book, taken up gardening, I love cultivating cuttings and creating unique planters, tutor reading for elementary school children, mentor a high schooler, and found my true passions, dancing and Dragon boating. There is no greater satisfaction then the thrill of paddling this gigantic canoe in sync with my team mates, across the finish line.
