Heather's husband is Jeff and her children are Hadley (6 yrs.), Nora (3 yrs.), and Griffin (1 yr.). When Heather has spare time, she enjoys small DIY projects, reading, gardening, and being outdoors.
Her advice to others would be to focus on the present. Don't regret the past and don't be anxious about the future. Appreciate what is happening right now.
Heather - we've never seen your cape or mask, but we see your superpowers every day! THANKS for being a super teacher!
