Name: Catherina Strong

What is the most inspiring part of your job?
Meeting students when they are young and watching them blossom and grow as learners, I love to hear what my former students are up to now as young adults.
 
Family, Pets, Home:
I live in Bozrah with my husband and one of my 3 sons, (my other sons are now adults) we have a pet dog and cat. I was born and raised in Dublin, Ireland where my mother and sisters still live.
 
Hobbies, Skills, Talents OR what do you like to do when you are not working?
I love taking photographs and then scrapbooking them (I have been scrapbooking for 27 years.) I love to travel and see new places and experience different cultures. I have been lucky enough to have visited 16 countries.
 
If time travel and long distance space travel were possible and all fictional worlds were real.  What place and/or time would you visit and what would you do while you were there?  
I would go back in time, spend time with my Dad and buy Apple stock when it first became public! 
 
What is something you want to learn more about? 
Using a manual camera as I love taking photographs.
 
Anything else?
I moved to the United States by myself when I was 18 years old. My nickname is Rina as so many people mispronounce my first name.
