1) Why did you become an instructional paraprofessional? I love working with kids! My two children attend DUSD, I’ve been a Durham community member my whole life and after many years of volunteering and helping out I loved the idea of being part of the team. 

2) What are your hobbies and interests outside of work? Definitely spending time with family! I love camping, fishing, and being up in the mountains. 

3) A fun fact about yourself or unique talent you possess, if any? I love doing a good word search puzzle.

4) Favorite book, movie, or music (pick only one to share) and why it is your favorite? The Goonies is one of my favorite movies. I grew up watching it and it holds a special place in my heart. 

5) Favorite part about working at Durham Elementary School?  The kids of course! Watching them grow while building relationships with them each year and helping them with what they need is such a fun and rewarding thing to see!
