If you could play any song as your personal “walk-up music” every time you entered your classroom/office, what would it be?“Este Ritmo Se Baila Así” by Chayanne (Puerto Rican artist)What is one professional achievement or milestone from your career that fills you with pride?Getting my doctorate degree and being the second of my four siblings to follow in my mom’s and older sister’s footsteps.What is a small, specific moment in your workday that makes you think, “This is why I do this”?When I am helping students see the best version of themselves and helping them solve a problem that was really bothering them.When I help teachers see the need to adjust the way they teach to better support their students, and when it all works out and makes sense in the end.When a parent or a student thanks me for making a difference in their lives.What is a hobby, obsession or hidden talent you have outside of school that has nothing to do with education?I am a scuba diver. I love to go scuba diving, and I love the beach and anything that has to do with the ocean and marine life. I also love seashells and ocean sand!If you could invite any three people, living or dead, to a dinner party, who are you picking and who is stuck doing the dishes?My best friend Chani, who passed away last year. We used to have dinner together every week. She always cooked, and I always did the dishes because I really don’t know how to cook anything. We had that agreement since college!My father, who passed away when I was 24 years old. I would love to talk to him and tell him about all the things I have accomplished that he would be so proud of! Lastly, my son Ashton, whom I lost as a baby. I would do anything to spend time with him that I never had the chance to have.</div></body>
