Personal:

Mom of three children: Ross, Jacqueline, and Michael.   My family has two rescue dogs we adore named Axel (boy) & Noel (girl).  Axel can sneeze on command, and communicates with talking buttons on the floor while Noel is just a love bug.

Outside of school, I love to be outside.  Our dogs are big so they walk ME! I love to listen to all kinds of music, and I like stories on Audible. I also enjoy spending time outside with family and friends. 

In the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years. -Abraham Lincoln
