One interesting fact about yourself: 

I worked at my hometown’s local summer camp for five summers in a row. It is what made me want to become a teacher!


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

George Washington, because I think the time period of our founding fathers is so interesting.


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

Watching movies on Netflix that I have never seen before.


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

About half way through a sit, the little boy I was sitting looked up at me while we were playing and said, “You can come back tomorrow.” He sounded so serious and business-like. It was too funny to hear from a four-year-old!


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

I wanted to be a vet because I loved animals (but I wouldn’t change my dream of being a teacher now for anything!)


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

My dog, coffee, and sunglasses.


What is the funniest memory from your childhood babysitter? 

I had a Titanic board game growing up, and I would only play it when my babysitter came over. She knew as soon as she got there what I wanted to do. I can’t even remember how you played now!


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

I have loved meeting all the families and their children. Each kid is so unique and the experiences have all been different and enjoyable!
