"My greatest strength is my ability to remain flexible and adapt to whatever is thrown at me. There is never a dull moment in a school building, and I can very easily think on my feet to make decisions and change directions, as needed. I know I will get interrupted at times to deal with more pressing matters, and I am comfortable moving from one thing to the next with very little warning. I thrive in an environment where I am always on my toes, and I can maintain a positive attitude no matter what is thrown at me. I've always been this way, and I know it only benefits me as a principal."
