Q: Please tell us about your current career. What do you love most about what you do?
A: “My favorite part of the teaching side is when I see kids make it out of my hands, and go on to college and pursue any kind of medical field. They come back and tell me that all the hard work I put them through, they would explain it as suffering but they saw the benefits of all the work they put in.”
Q: How long have you lived or worked in our community?

You don’t see that very often, I’ve been in many different school systems and this one is very unique in that way. One thing I would like to see in the future is that the community gets stronger.”
