Experience (Years at ACIA)

The 2024-2025 academic year is my third year at ACIA.

When I'm not at work, I like to...

I love being outside and spending time with my dog. Walking my dog at the park is one of my favorite outdoor activities.  I also love exercising, traveling, and learning about history. I’m a big fan of live sports. 

Fun Fact(s)

I used to be an actor!  I have appeared in several crime reenactment TV shows that appear on the Investigation Discovery channel. I’ve also appeared in some community theater productions.

"Super Power"

I think my gift is helping people look at situations from a different perspective.  So much of our worlds are impacted by our perspective of events rather than the events themselves!  Our attitudes toward our situations are so important.

What show have you binge-watched lately?

Band of Brothers. I’m absolutely facinated by World War II. 

Favorite Book or Genre

It’s hard for me to pick just one. I recently read Crucial Conversations. I’ve learned some really good concepts from this book that help with communication.

Dream Vacation

My Beliefs about Education and Learning
