What makes you proud to work in Brunswick? #BSDProud
To know and collaborate with an incredible team of women and educators (both in my role as a 2nd grade teacher and in my current Math RTI role) and to work under a leader who truly cares about me as a human.
What do you like to do outside of work for fun?
Cook, read, travel to warm places with beaches and water, ride our motorcycle, watch my youngest on the golf course, spend time with my family, friends and dogs of all shapes and sizes!
What is one of your favorite lines from a movie?
John Keating (Robin Williams) in Dead Poet's Society: "There's a time for daring and there's a time for caution, and a wise man understands which is called for."
If you could meet anyone, living or dead, who would you meet?
My great-grandmother from Finland, Elsa Niskanen Piirainen - the woman who taught my father what unconditional love really was.
What is something you learned in the last week?
That filling out the FAFSA is a real drag...and the "gift" that just keeps on giving (semester after semester)!
