Palindromes are numbers, words, phrases, or sequences that read the same in both directions, such as mom, wow, noon, racecar... or "a man, a plan, a canal--Panama!"

Did you know that we are in a 10-day Palindrome fest that started on 4/20?

OK, it's only with American-style dates, but it's still cool! The palindrome dates this month are: 4-20-24, 4-21-24, 4-22-24, 4-23-24, 4-24-24, 4-25-24, 4-26-24, 4-27-24, 4-28-24 and 4-29-24. Notice them around you and have fun.

What makes you proud to work in Brunswick? #BSDProud

Three things make me proud - The Staff - Students and Community!

What do you like to do outside of work for fun?

I love being outside, especially during the Summer, Spring and Fall. I enjoy hiking, biking, walking and running - especially trail running, boogie boarding, golf, travel, and spending time with family and friends.

What is your favorite line from a movie?

Chonco, Give Me Some Sweats - From the Movie Nacho Libre. The movie is loosely based on the story of Fray Tormenta ("Friar Storm," a.k.a. Rev. Sergio Gutiérrez Benítez), a real-life Mexican Catholic priest who had a 23-year career as a masked luchador who supported an orphanage he directed!

If you could meet anyone, living or dead, who would you meet?

J. Robert Oppenheimer or Albert Einstein
