Favorite activity(ies) outside of school:	I enjoy spending time with my family going up to the mountains and going to our lake house in Michigan. I also enjoy swimming and playing golf, though I do not get to do it very often.

Pets or children:	I am married to my wonderful husband Jorge, and we have twin girls, Lily and Zoey. They just turned 5 on July 4th. We also have a dog, Ruby, who is a Cairn terrier.
If I gave you a $50,000 unrestricted grant, what would you do with it?:
I would like to put it towards Para's in our building. I believe that giving teachers extra help in their classrooms allows time for more one on one instruction. With another person in a teacher's classroom, it also allows teachers to differentiate their content so that all children's needs are met.
