At work, do you have the opportunity to do what you do best every day?

Some days... :-)

Profession

School admin dealing with behavior crises with therapy background

Best part of your job:

Having conversations with kids that have been labeled as emotionally disturbed and unable to change and seeing them both connect to me, connect the dots and participate in the power of choice that leads them into a different future than has been their past.

Your 2nd choice of profession (and why):

Pastor. But not in a traditional sense. I've always wanted to engage people in the process of transformation and change and hope and all that. Would love to engage people in deepening their lives and their spiritual journey by connecting them to community and to God.

Your favorite book/movie/time waster:

Gladiator. Braveheart. Casablanca. Inception. The Dark Knight. Nacho Libre. Basically anything where a relatively normal person (no super powers) does the impossible or the beautiful through heroic - and sometimes sacrificial - acts.

You would love to meet:

Bill and Melinda Gates. Desmond Tutu, N.T. Wrigth, Bono. George Clooney. Bobby Kennedy (i know, i know - not possible)

Other fascinating details about you (bio, hidden talents, etc.)

Love the outdoors. Reasonably traveled (been to 4 continents). Am really drawn to experiences of power in nature (storms, earthquakes, waterfalls, thunder/lightning) to the point of running towards (or in) them, sometimes nearly losing my life over it. Yeah...trying to make better decisions there...
