              Fun Facts<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

              Best advice you ever received?<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

              Life is short; don’t waste it!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

              What did you want to be when you were growing up?<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

              I had no career aspirations. Rather, I just always wanted to be the best I could be on whatever path I walked!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

              What do you enjoy most about teaching?<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

              I love seeing a student develop and grow their knowledge about a topic I am completely passionate about entrepreneurship. At the beginning of class, some students know nothing about owning a business and do not care to ever be self-employed. By the end of class, many of these students have done a180 degree turn and are considering entrepreneurship as a viable career choice!<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

              A piece of advice for students in your school?<\/h4>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

              Be bold! Don’t waste time sitting on the sidelines because you’re afraid to fail! Failure is an opportunity to find a better way of doing something.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
