What do you love about MBCA? 
A: I love our MBCA family! I feel that MBCA is an extension of my own family. I love my students, their families, and the wonderful staff I am surrounded by every day. Being in a job where I feel supported, cared for, and loved is more than anyone could ask for. I look forward to coming to work every day. Being here is pure joy!

What is your favorite Bible verse, and why? 
A: Proverbs 3: 5-6 - "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him and He will make your paths straight." This is my favorite verse because it always reminds me that I need to always put Christ first in everything I do and He will be my guide! I can always look to Him and trust and know that He is the leader of all my decisions! 

What are three fun facts about yourself?
A: I was a lifeguard through high school and I played a lifeguard in a movie in college. I learned sign language when I was in third grade so I could help tutor a student who needed an interpreter through elementary school. My mom would say that she knew I was going to be a teacher since I was three years old because she would always find me in our playroom teaching my dolls and stuffed animals and then when my siblings were old enough to sit up, they became my students too.  

What is your favorite book? 
A: Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers
