Spotlight on U (Staff)

What is your current role and why did you choose it?

I am an administrative assistant at Piedmont Middle School.

What’s your favorite thing about your current job?

My favorite thing about my job is being able to serve our students, my coworkers and just being able to be hands-on every single day.

What is your favorite memory at UCPS?

When I first started at Piedmont Middle, everyone in the front office—admin, school resource officer and nurse–just made me feel at ease. They were always attentive and making sure I was adjusting well.

What's your "superpower" at work (the thing you’re known for)?

I would say my “superpower” is being able to help our staff, students and parents with language barriers. We have many Spanish-speaking families and I love being here to help translate.

Outside of your job, what are your hobbies or interests?

I love to spend time being cozy at home cooking or baking with the family and watching movies together.

If you could have dinner with anyone, who would it be and why?

Mrs. Weaver! I would love to have dinner with her because she's a woman of wisdom and has so much passion for the things she does, both in school and outside of school!

What’s the coolest place you’ve ever visited? What did you like about it?

I have visited Spain before and fell in love with the scenery, the beautiful buildings with flower pots on the windows, flamenco shows and the food.
