Tell us about your superpowers.
Joy is my superpower! I look for the bright side in all that I meet. I love to encourage. I love to dance especially TAP ...and flash mobs are so exciting! I love soccer. I love creating digital stories. Totally into quotes- they inspire me! Writing is my passion. Music sings stories in my heart. Big fan of the 90's and all things Pop Culture. Football and Baseball sports talk.

So cool. I love the sounds.

What makes you laugh?
Conversations in general (With my own children, classroom children, and even with adults). Sarcasm always gets me. Animals that talk is the funniest thing.

What is most rewarding about your job; what makes it all worthwhile?
Smiles on faces. Watching someone learn something new is a feeling like no other. Being a part of that learning, seeing the lightbulb shine bright.

Not into animals, I do like ladybugs though.
