1) What made you decide to work as a secretary within DUSD? How many years have you worked in the district? How many of those years have been as the DES Secretary? I started as a Para at DES when my youngest child went into Kindergarten.  In 2000 the opportunity for a full time secretary position opened up and I moved over to the high school.  I have worked for the district for 28 years and have been at the Elementary school for 7.5 years.

2) What are your hobbies and interests outside of work? There are too many hobbies for me to list but my top two are my horses and I love to quilt.

3) A fun fact about yourself or a unique talent you possess, if any? There are too many hobbies for me to list but my top two are my horses and I love to quilt.

4) Favorite book, movie, or music (pick only one to share) and why is it your favorite? My two favorite books are "Where the Crawdads Sing" and "The Great Alone"  both books show that people can overcome hardship and rise to meet the challenges that life puts in front of them.

5) Favorite part about working in Durham Elementary School? I love the littles,  many of the children are from students that I had at the high school, I am grateful to end my career at DES.
