*School Counselor*
*Why did you decide to become a teacher?
“I became a teacher because my happiest moments in school when I was younger was when I was involved in music, and I wanted to give other students the same opportunity to express themselves. I then became a counselor because I enjoy giving advice and being someone people can trust to talk to.”
*How do you deal with a stressful situation?
“Keep my calm, focus on the solution, and then stress out after the fact.”
*What is your most interesting, high school memory?
“I got the lead in the spring musical and had to learn how to tap dance.”
*If you could have a different job, what would it be?
“Chef or Broadway actor because I love to cook and watch people eat my cooking, but I also love to perform and bring joy to other people in a live theater because I like to have that interaction with the audience.”
*What was your funniest, teaching moment?
“When a mouse came into my classroom (deathly afraid of rodents) and I had to call my principal to come remove it.”
*What was your biggest setback in life?
“The struggles of having children with my past marriage but having my children now makes the gift of life (and them) much more special.”
*If you could change one thing in the school, what would it be?
“The apathy of certain students and some staff.”
*Do you have any advice for the students of Brooklyn?
“Enjoy the benefits of living in a small town and a small school district, and it does not matter what you do in the future as long as you have a plan.”
