In Their Words...


What inspired you to work with children? 

They make me smile. It is hard to have a bad day or a bad mood around kids!


My secret talent or interesting fact about me: 

I have a really good sense of direction - drop me anywhere and I'll find my way home.


The best advice you’ve ever received:

From my mom: when you make coffee, make it strong. You can add more water but not more beans.


Favorite way to spend a day off? 

Hiking with my dogs!
