1. What is your favorite quote? What is your interpretation for this quote?

"To teach you, I must know you." --an Alaskan educator

2. What college, you are attending or have attended? What is best or worst about the college?

I went to Michigan Technological University and then UW.
Best...the people; there are a great variety of really interesting people to get
to know.
Worst...I had one class that was awful, but I made it through.

3. What is your plan in the next 5 or 10 years from now?

I plan to be living in Mexico, teaching and experiencing a different culture.

4. What do you think of Upward Bound students?

I think that Upward Bound students are really great! I feel very
fortunate to be able to teach in this program. We have a diverse group of
students who are intelligent and expressive. It is a pleasure to come to work
each day.

5. If you got all the power in the whole world, what would you change about Upward Bound? Alternatively, if not. Then what would you change about the United State as a resident.

I would have us spend each week of the program on a different continent learning
as we travel from the people and the environments that we would experience.
