Q: What are your favorite sports teams?

A: Manchester City; I like the teams that nobody else likes. I’m also a Colorado Buffaloes fan. I don’t watch American sports anymore, cause all I do is watch Man City dominate. I’m originally from Colorado, so I’m also a Denver fan.

Q: What are your thoughts on Prep?

A: It has been amazing. The kids have been really good, really driven, the resources available to all the teachers and all the students have been amazing, especially compared to previous schools I’ve worked at before, so I’m excited to see what we can do.

Q: What song are you ashamed to admit you listen to?

Q: Who is your favorite late-night talk show host?

A: Jimmy Fallon.

Q: Cane’s or Chick-Fil-A?

A: Definitely Chick-Fil-A. Raising Cane’s was my go-to for a long time and then they brought a Chick-Fil-A to Lincoln last year or a year and a half ago, changed my life, forever. Their chicken sandwiches and chicken nuggets are so good.
