What is your favorite Franklin memory? May the Fourth be with you – obstacle course & nerf wars.
What is your favorite Franklin tradition and why? Passing the candle. It’s a chance to see the love and compassion of both students & faculty.
What is your favorite thing about working with these students? Building a meaningful relationship – being there for the good, the bad & the ugly
What is something fun/quirky people should know about you? I love to sing and dance – I am equally bad at both but that does not stop me.
The most important quality a teacher applying to Franklin Academy should have is… compassion
If I could have dinner with anyone (dead or alive), I would choose… Tom Petty
Something I love about Franklin Academy is… Letting students be who they truly are
If I could shadow a Franklin alum for the day, what would I hope to learn? I would like to shadow a Franklin alum during their free time. I would hope to learn how they spend time with their family and friends, as well as see what else they enjoy during their free time. I would hope to learn that they are taking care of themselves socially and emotionally as well has having fun in their life.
