What do you Like Most About Living in the North State?
We have a good community, kind people, and the outdoors. Everyday I think we live in a beautiful place.
If you had an unlimited classroom budget, what’s the first thing you would buy?
Our own theater. I have always dreamed of building a theater for Stellar. It would become my new classroom. I could teach drama and music in the theater. We would also have a place to perform musicals, plays, music recitals, workshops – the sky is the limit!
If you could have any animal (real or mythical) as a classroom pet, what would it be?
A chinchilla. They are so cute and soft. An interesting fact about them is that they take a dust bath to get clean. It is cute to watch.
If you could master any hobby or skill, what would it be?
I think I would choose dance because it was something I have always loved from childhood. I like modern, jazz, hip hop. Dance is good for the mind, body and soul.
If you could swap places with any fictional character for a day, who would it be?
When I was a girl, I wanted to be Wonder Woman. She was the first strong female character I was introduced to, and she can fly! Plus, the lasso of truth and the invisible jet are pretty cool, too.
What’s your go-to karaoke song?
Alanis Morissette, “Hand In My Pocket”
If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Pizza! It is so versatile.
If you were a superhero, what would your superpower be?
Listening. It helps me in my job as a music teacher. It also helps me when I need to help others solve a problem, so I can better understand where they are coming from. Listening is powerful.
If you had to describe yourself using only three words, what would they be?
Upbeat, friendly, loyal
If you had to be a contestant on a game show, which one would you pick and why?
Family Feud, I have always enjoyed the show and I think it would be fun to compete with my family.
