What led you to choose your career path in education? Teaching chose me. I come from a long line of educators.

Educators have faced a lot of adversity lately. What is one way you have grown professionally? Flexibility is one way I have grown professionally. Thinking outside the box and finding innovative ways to do things have been the skills I have had to sharpen in order to “survive” the educational times we now face.

What piece of advice do you always give your students? You have 2 ears and 1 mouth. You should listen way more than you talk because everyone you meet knows something you don’t!
