Q: What brought you to Northwestern?
A: I saw Northwestern had a job opening and I decided to put an application. I never really saw my-self as a teacher, but I knew I didn’t want to be a stay at home mom.
Q: What is your favorite part of your job?
A: I love the interaction I have with my students and co-workers especially with COVID going on and being in the house for so long prior to the fall semester starting up.
Q: What would people be surprised to know about you?
A: People would be surprised on how much of a people person I am because I come off really shy when you first meet me.
Q: What is your superpower?
A: It would be a toss-up between flying and talking to animals. I don’t really know why I chose these 2, but they were the first two things that came to mind.
