Favorite thing about Roosevelt: I love watching the staff and students interact daily and seeing students that walk the hallway carry on the Roosevelt traditions of new and old.
What hobbies do you enjoy in your free time: My free time is spent with my four daughters Emma, Camryn, Ava and Laney. We all play and watch volleyball, we like to go on vacation together, eat Sunday dinner and watch old movies. When I am not doing schools work, I enjoy reading, running and spending time with my fur babies.
How long have you been at Roosevelt: end of 21-22 School Year
“the true focus of revolutionary change is never merely the oppressive situations that we seek to escape, but the piece of the oppressor which is planted deep within each of us.” Audre Lorde
