Q: What was your most embarrassing teaching moment?
A: “Something to do with falling or walking into something. I’m always falling!”
Q: If a biography of your experiences as a teacher at Neshaminy was written, what would the title be?
A: “[It would be] ‘Excuse me, do you have a pass?’ I always get asked that, because I get mistaken for a student all the time.
