Feb. 7th, 2026 06:19 pm1. What did you want to be when you were a kid?
A marine biologist, a whale and dolphin trainer at what was then called Marine World, a veterinarian, and then I had no idea when I started college and had to choose a major.
2. What is your proudest accomplishment so far?
I have no idea. Maybe finally having the courage to leave teaching with zero plans of what to do next.
3. What is your dream job?
It used to be something like a travel reporter, basically getting paid to travel and review places. Really, I just wanted the travel part. I'd still like to travel, but don't know how that would be a paying job.
4. Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
*Hopefully* somewhere close to retirement. If I don't talk to a financial planner, that might not be the case.
5. What does it take to make you happy?
Iced coffee, getting enough sleep, my friends.
