Q: Are you married? Do you have any children? Tell us a little about your home life!

Q: What’s an interesting fact about yourself?
A: I actually graduated from KWC with a degree in social work. I did that for five years and then transitioned into education. It was an easy transition due to the rounded education I received at KWC.

A: KWC is a small community that turns into family. You are given many opportunities to learn and experience many different avenues.

Q: What advice do you have for future alumni?
