1) Why did you become a teacher? I wanted to and still want to have an impact on chidren being life long learners by loving school! I want them to be so excited about coming to school that they forget they are learning!

2) What are your hobbies and interests outside of work? If I am not at one of my 3 children’s sporting events you could find me hiking, walking my dog, swimming, biking, or hanging with friends.  Basically anything outdoors and even better if it is near water! 

3) A fun fact about yourself or unique talent you possess, if any? I played hole set on the Chico State water polo team in college! 

4) Favorite book, movie, or music (pick only one to share) and why it is your favorite? I love all things country!  My boys have been raised listening to country music!  It feeds my soul! If possible I love to see country concerts live like Megan Moroney and Kenny Chesney last summer! 

5) Favorite part about working at Durham Elementary School? I love the connections in Durham.  I love the connections I have developed with staff, the families I teach and my kids!  It is a family and everyone always supports each other.
