I originally became a speech and language pathologist in order to work with veterans who had traumatic brain injuries.

I was a military police officer in the U.S. Army and I lived in Germany.
4) Favorite book, movie, or music (pick only one to share) and why it is your favorite?

My favorite part about working at DUSD is being able to see my kids, watching the students grow, and building bonds.
