Three Thoughts:

If I could have dinner with anyone (living or deceased), I would invite … Nelson Mandela, to soak up all the wisdom I could about how to face the utmost adversity with grace, dignity, and empathy. Ruth Bader Ginsburg, to learn more about how she balanced motherhood, a marriage, and a career that demanded such moral courage.

Three words that describe my work style are … dynamic, organized, and collaborative.

My favorite children’s authors and books are … Eric Carle, Andrea Beaty, Kevin Henkes, Peter H. Reynolds, Julia Donaldson, Chris Van Allsburg, and Dr. Seuss. It’s impossible to choose just one favorite book because of how prophetic they are, but I would have to say The Lorax and The Butter Battle Book, by Dr. Seuss.

And one more!

If I could give a child one quality, it would be … perseverance, although small children are mighty!
