Favorite teacher?  My 3rd grade teacher Ms Howe. She made learning fun.
If you were not in education what other profession would you like to attempt?   In the 4th grade I wanted to be an astronaut, but then I realized I didn't like heights. In the 6th grade I wanted to be an archeologist, but then remembered I don't like to get dirty. In the 7th grade I decided to follow in my mom’s footsteps and become a math teacher. I wouldn't do anything else.
Do you have pets?   no, I have 3 children.
Favorite Color?  Blue
Favorite Quote or Saying?  The only way to learn math is to do math.
Where is the farthest place you have ever traveled?   After college I backpacked through Europe starting in Greece and ending in England. But the furthest I've been is Bora Bora on my honeymoon.
Favorite Food?  ​I could eat Steak every day!
Hobbies or Activities/Organizations you are active in?   I enjoy traveling, swimming, golf, and watching Marvel superhero movies. :)
