What roles do you take on at the driving school?I am in charge of the entire operation. Everything goes through me - scheduling, sales, payroll, and marketing. I wear many hats.
In one word, describe your first driving lesson with Sven?SHOCKING! He had me drive him to do his errands!
What do other drivers do that drive you crazy?I HATE tailgaters!
What driving achievement of your own are you most proud of?I’m proud that I passed the road test! I worked so hard and tried SO many times to pass!
What was your closest call while driving?I was involved in an accident while passing a stop sign and of course I was hit on the side. Ever since then I’m extra careful and I check both ways before passing the stop sign.
What’s the best advice you can give someone taking lessons with Sven, Pete, or Carlos?The instructors are there to teach so give them the opportunity to teach you. Don’t get upset when they point out your errors and correct your mistakes.
