I first got involved in Digi-Bridge when… the program expanded into Ballantyne. I helped expand to new markets.
I have been running Digi-Bridge for… one year.
One thing I want parents to know about Digi-Bridge is… everyone is a scientist.
One thing I want kids to know about Digi-Bridge is… playing, creating, and exploring is STEM.
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced me to… meet specific needs of parents and become better listeners, especially in terms of virtual programming.
After the pandemic, I am most looking forward to… visiting family and hugging people.
If I’m not at work, you’re likely to find me… exploring parks around Charlotte.
