What was your most embarrassing moment in high school?
My most embarrassing moment is when I fell up the steps during a Jefferson varsity basketball game and I spilled nacho cheese all over my hands. I was very embarrassed and almost cried and stuff. It was very embarrassing!
My most embarrassing moment was during my tenth grade year in Mrs. Taylor’s Biology class. We had to dress up for professional day and I dressed up in these high heels that were too high and fell in front of the entire class! Northmont has a very strong identity and a great deal of pride. I work with people in all capacities of the district as well as family and community members that I find to be talented, hardworking and committed to Northmont. It’s inspiring to be part of a community that works so hard to support education.
Most people associate student services with special education. It also includes coordinating services such as intervention for English language learners, preschool, nursing/medical care, mental health/counseling, safety, SROs, residency, truancy, enrollment, social work and any other areas that involve support for students. We are meeting some very complex needs. We want every student to have a memorable experience at Northmont.
What’s your favorite thing about the Northmont community?
The bottom-line outcome of my job is making sure students and families have access to the support and programs they need. Supporting teachers, principals, and staff with information and resources for them to be successful can be challenging. Also, being resourceful in making sure we stay within the budget while meeting the wide range of students’needs.
