Someone who has inspired
or encouraged you in your role as an educator: Every year I
meet someone new. Someone either that I work closely
with or I meet in a workshop or even one of my students I
work with who inspires me to do just a little bit more or
change what I've been doing in some way that makes me a
better therapist.
Hobbies/Interests:
I love to camp and hike. The beauty that God has
created lifts my soul. I also love to read. My

Name someone you would like to meet:
I would love to meet Billy Graham and spend the day with
him listening to him talk on just everyday things and
reminiscing on his life now that he's 90 years old.

The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett.
Advice to students:
If you always try to do your best, then you can't help
but get better, even at those things you're not very good
at. You may not be as good as someone else, but you're
still better than you used to be.
