Teacher Spotlight

Grade: 9  I  Health

Carson High School

Carson City, Nevada


If you could have any person (living, dead or fictional) as a principal, who would it be?

My Dad. He is fair, honest, open, understanding, a good listener, and intelligent. He would run a tight ship, but at the same time make things fun and exciting, as life should always be! 

 

What profession other than your own would you most like to attempt?

Marketing would be my pick. I am somehow always drawn to community relations, event planning and fundraising. I love doing that and get so much fulfillment out of this type of work!

Daily Stress Buster

A tip from Elizabeth Somer, R.D., author of The Food & Mood Cookbook: "For breakfast, avoid sugary cereals or breakfast bars and eat whole-grain cereal and a piece of fruit. Then pop a vitamin with at least 500 milligrams (mg) of calcium and 250 mg of magnesium. Magnesium, which is flushed out when stress rushes in, helps regulate those cortisol levels."  ~The Huffington Post
