Favorite Ferris Memory
- Hard to say but probably the day I was hired at Ferris with my former wrestling coach on the interview board. Also, my first day on the job was a favorite memory because I was so nervous and at the end of the day, I knew I picked the right profession.

Favorite Ferris Memory
- Favorite Ferris memory as a student hoisting the 3rd Place trophy for Volleyball and Basketball at the state tournament. Favorite memory as a teacher seeing my DECA students on stage at the state conference and seizing them on stage at DECA Nationals. As a whole school the afternoon we spent when we had the band/carnival on the football field.
