“The most successful people are those who are good at Plan B.”

– James A. Yorke

My WHY:

Our future is reliant on our present. Our society’s children live squarely in the present and I want to be a part of shaping their perspectives of the future. Encouraging wonder and embracing diversity are at the heart of my hopes and dreams for all children.

Life has taught me:

That we are all doing the best we can with the resources we have accessible to us. We learn just as much, if not more, from our mistakes as we do from our successes.

Bet you didn’t know:

My soul is regenerated when I’m on the water. Lake, river, ocean- it doesn’t matter. Swimming, kayaking, white water rafting or just sitting staring at the waves are all activities that I need to do more often.
