  1.  Why did you become a School Social Worker?

    I started off being a Social Worker with adults but once I did an internship with children, I found my passion.  I am able to connect, analyze, and empower young people.  
     

  2. What is your motivation? Who do you strive for greatness for?

    My ultimate glory is to serve with the gifts that God has given me.  My secondary glory is to honor my parents who were both effective tenacious educators in DPS.  Their legacy lives on in me daily.
