What was your first job? Besides the occasional babysitting job, my first sense of a real job started in 7th grade when I began assisting my neighbors run a toddlers gymnastics and calisthenics class for an organization we were a part of. Guess you can say I have always worked with kids!
What is the best advice you have ever been given? I spent some time in a nursing home during graduate school where a woman told me “Never leave the house or go to bed angry”. You never know what road lies ahead, so cherish every moment you have with the ones you love!
