1.Tell us why anyone would want come to your hometown?
Resilience - Throughout this walk of life, we will all experience personal challenges. Yet, having the courage to pull through difficult times can be transformative to one’s character and can build mental fortitude.

2.What are the (2) most important things in your closet and why?
Dateline ID – This show gives me a window into the lives of real people that have faced difficult odds. I sometimes think, “What if this were my family? How would we respond”? I am often amazed at how families are able to stay hopeful in the face of horrendous incidents.

3.What do you love to cook and why?
Repeated follow-ups - Whether it’s asking my husband if he remembered to rsvp for a social or sending multiple emails to employees, I cannot resist making sure things are on target. Although annoying at times, I have used these skills to support and mentor students preparing for FTC robotics completions.

4.If you had an extra hour each day, what would you do?
“So, what are you going to do differently next time?” - Any time our son does not achieve expected outcomes, we challenge him to think about what he will differently next time to achieve desired results. Essentially, it’s the things we take away from experiences that are the most valuable.

5.Describe the dirtiest job you have ever had to do?
Wednesday – Since Wednesday are midweek, our family views this day as an opportunity to reflect, regroup, reprioritize, and refocus. We view it as a second chance to end the week off on a good note.
