I get to wear my slippers all day long!!


What is your favorite food?  
I love cereal. I could eat breakfast cereal for every meal and be completely happy.

A dog named Lucy, and a cat named Sophie. I'm pretty sure Lucy thinks Sophie is a dog, and Sophie thinks Lucy is a cat.

Do you have any fun or interesting tidbits about yourself?
I'm scared of tubes of dough from the grocery store. The ones where you peel the outer wrapping off and they pop open. I buy them on occasion to cook with, but opening them scares me way more than it should.   

What do you like most about working at BlueSky? 
I love the way BlueSky is able to work with students on an individual basis and provide them with lots of support from multiple sources right from day one.
