🔹What is your favorite work related activity during this time?

My favorite work related activity during this time is having the opportunity to take small groups and having the time with a few students at a time.

🔹If you could have dinner with one person, who would it be and why?

If I could have dinner with one person it would be an old friend from high school because we haven’t seen each other in a long time and it would be great to catch up on life with each other.

🔹What is your favorite book or who is your favorite author and why?

My favorite author is Jan Brett because her picture books are amazing and there are so many books out there by her!

🔹What have you learned about yourself that has helped you cope in this COVID-19 environment?

I have learned to be grateful for the little things in life that has helped me cope in this COVID-19 environment. I have a healthy, happy family and they are the most important part of my life. Even if we can’t do the same things we used to, we have adjusted and do fun activities together!

🔹What is the best piece of advice you've received or a favorite quote that keeps you motivated?

The best piece of advice that I have received to keep me motivated is that I have 2 daughters who look up to me and will be so proud to have their mom graduate while working full time and being a single mom! It isn’t always easy, but those girls keep me motivated!
