Where is the best place you have traveled to and why? The best place I traveled to was Costa Rica – the weather was amazing the food was awesome and I LOVE tropical places and beaches. There was so much to do that we hope to return someday to do the things we didn’t have time for. What is your favorite sport? My favorite sport is baseball. I love being at the ballpark all day. Either watching an MLB game or my favorite players of all time, my 2 boys Do you have any pets? I have 3 pets. A sweet beagle named Bella. A handsome cat named Oreo, and a new baby lab named Cash he was a Covid addition and we love him very much. Favorite indoor/outdoor activity? My favorite outdoor activity is camping. We love all the different places we see and new campgrounds to explore. What do you like most about working at an elementary school? The thing I love most about working at school is hearing all the kids’ laughter and seeing their smiling faces - I sure am missing that a lot right now.

If you could have any superpower what would it be and why? My superpower would be teleportation, because I would love to be able to be on a sandy beach and somewhere warm in the blink of an eye.
