What's your favorite memory at YPI?
That’s tough.  After all this time I would have to say that the week I went hiking with 6 YPIers and watched them interact with each other and nature in the most respectful way, all the while laughing with one another, was my favorite memory.

If you had to listen to 3 songs over and over again for the rest of your life, what would they be?
Otis Redding: Sittin’ on the Dock of the Bay
LIVE: Dolphins Cry
Elvis Presley: Burning Love

Where are you originally from and how did you find YPI?
I’m from a little of everywhere.  I was born in the Dominican Republic and moved to Minnesota when I was 8 years old.  I’ve since lived in California and back to MN for a while.  I found out about YPI through idealist.org when I was looking for a job. YPI and its mission jumped out at me, I applied for the job, got it and have been here for over 5 years and love it!

What was/is your favorite and least favorite subject in school? (high school/ college)
High School Favorite: Shakespeare!
College Favorite: Experiential non-competitive play for children

What's your favorite hobby?
Hiking with my 2 dogs, watching Ohio State Football (GO BUCKS!!) and lying in my hammock.
