I don’t have many (scholastic) achievements. That’s not to say I’m not qualified or intelligent. I firmly believe you should focus on surprising people with what you’re capable of instead of setting the bar so high that you fall short of their expectations.

Every group needs that one person that isn’t afraid of not understanding out loud, so that the ones that won’t speak up have the opportunity to understand.” “I have two children, Tyler (10), who is autistic, and Silvia (6), who is a drama queen. I have a huge fondness for animals, especially reptiles. I currently have a cat, Briar, 5 lizards, and 3 betta fish. When I’m not working, I’m parenting. When I have free time, I enjoy planning my next nano aquarium/pet project
