One interesting fact about yourself: 

I once won a 60 second Shopping Spree through Build-a-Bear Workshop up at Easton Town Center. It was when the store first opened  and I'll never forget getting to run through the store for 60 seconds grabbing as many stuffed animals as I could!

If you could have dinner with one person, alive or dead, who would it be and why?  

That's a tough one, but I would probably say Corrie Ten Boom. Her story  amazes me and “The Hiding Place” has always been one of my favorite books about her life story. Her and her families perseverance, bravery and faith inspire me.

It is a lazy Sunday, how would you spend your day? 

Relaxing, football, family, maybe a nap and a good book :)
 

What is the funniest comment you have heard from a child while working for SMS? 

There are so many! But one of the sweetest was when a 3 year old boy asked me while we were watching a movie if he could hold my hand , just like a perfect little gentleman. It was so cute and sweet.
 

When you were a kid growing up, what did you want to be? 

I wanted to be a lot of things, but one thing was I wanted to be a Veterinarian because I thought it just meant I could play with animals all day long. Once I found out you had to give the animals shots, and other things I quickly changed my mind! 

If you were stranded on a desert island, and could pick three items, what would they be? 

Kindle, Sunscreen, and chapstick. 

What is the funniest memory from your childhood babysitter? 

My older brothers were watching me one day and I was getting in the middle of a basketball game they were playing with each other. So, they “tied” me to the basketball pole with  a jump rope and convinced me it was some kind of game. When my parents came home my brothers were playing basketball uninterrupted and I was having a blast too thinking I was a part of their game.

What has been your most memorable experience while working with SMS? 

There are so many! But I would say it's probably a toss up between doing a part of the workout DVD “Insanity” with two kids I was babysitting (definitely a memorable moment and good workout!) or when a little girl I was babysitting asked for “one-thousand” kisses on the cheek before going to sleep. (She was probably just stalling her bedtime, but it was sweet!).
