One interesting fact about yourself:

My hometown where I am from only has 3 stop lights!  A lot of people who I know that are from big cities find that astonishing. 

If you could have dinner with one person, alive or dead, who

would it be and why?

I would have dinner with my favorite country music singer Jake Owen because I love his music and I think it would be interesting asking him about what his life is like.  He is so great with his fans and seems very down to earth. 

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

I would order takeout Mexican food and snuggle up under a blanket watching my favorite Netflix shows.

What is the funniest comment you have heard from a child

while working for SMS?

I always get a kick out of asking some of the kids to guess how old I am.  I have been guessed as a 12 year old and a 35 year old, which is pretty far off from my actual age. 

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

I have always wanted to be a teacher because I love working with children and I have a desire to make an impact in young children’s education. 

If you were stranded on a desert island, and could pick three

items, what would they be?

I would choose to bring my cell phone so I could still contact people, food/water so that I don’t starve, and my bed so that I have a comfortable place to sleep. 

What is the funniest memory from your childhood babysitter?

My two older brothers used to babysit me when we were younger.  I remember one time they were playing a sports game that I wanted to play but they wouldn’t let me because I was a girl.  So I went into my brothers’ room, put on their boy clothes, and came back dressed as a boy so that I could play the game.  It was so funny and the story still gets brought up today. 

What has been your most memorable experience while

working with SMS?

My most memorable experience while working with SMS was when I was babysitting a little girl and I told her I am going to college to be a teacher.  Her face lit up and she told me that I was going to be a great teacher because I am nice and a good babysitter.  It was such a simple compliment that made me feel good about myself and confident with my future career choice.
