What do you enjoy about your job? The sense of community that I feel from both coworkers (especially my CLC family) and parents; I know I have a support system if I ever need it. I love working with the preschoolers, espeially the three year-olds. I joke with my faily that when I see the kiddos outside of the classroom, I feel like a rockstar! The kids are always calling my name and hugging me - sometimes I get more love from them than my own kids! As a 3K teacher, I tend to be the parents' first real experience with school and POP in particular. I try to take time with each faily and help them navigate this new experience, which could be anything from the Cana Center to carpool etiquette.

Favorite POP event and why? The CLC Empty Bowl Project! This event has changed a lot over the years, but it is still my favorite event. You can see the pride on the kids' faces when they bring their families and show off the things they made as well as the wonder on the parents' faces that their kids actually made all the artworks. It makes all the hard work leading up to it worth it!

Hobbies outside of work? I love to read and especially listen to audiobooks - that way I can multitask!
