Joy is my superpower! I look for the bright side in all that I meet. I love to encourage. I love to dance especially TAP …and flash mobs are so exciting! I love soccer. I love creating digital stories. Totally into quotes- they inspire me! Writing is my passion. Music sings stories in my heart. Big fan of the 90’s and all things Pop Culture. Football and Baseball sports talk.

What makes you laugh?
Conversations in general (With my own children, classroom children, and even with adults). Sarcasm always gets me. Animals that talk is the funniest thing.

Smiles on faces. Watching someone learn something new is a feeling like no other. Being a part of that learning, seeing the lightbulb shine bright.
What is your totem animal?
Not into animals, I do like ladybugs though.

Any that makes my kids smile. Seeing my 3 year old’s joy of playing Twister with Mommy, hearing his vocabulary grow playing Headbandz, and hearing his laugh when the buzzard goes off in Operation are priceless.
