Q: What do you teach?
“I teach culinary and independent living.”
Q: Have you experienced any crazy student stories?
*Chuckles* “No, but I do have a funny story that happened.
A couple of years ago two students got into a fight and I tried to separate them, but one of the students picked me up and physically moved me out of the way because I was his favorite teacher,
I have never stepped into a student altercation since, just because of that day!”
