Recently, I got to put my many years of improv comedy to use (take that anyone who's every made fun of improv comedy) and write this wonderful improvised children's story. What's an improvised children's story you ask? Guess you'll have to check it out to see for yourself! Thanks Worldreader for another wonderful collaboration.

Worldreader’s ✨ Staff Spotlight ✨ of the Month: Meet Heidi Williams from Phoenix, AZ! 🚀 What’s your day-to-day like? Depending on meeting schedules, I work out every morning with weights, hot yoga, or tennis. I usually dive into emails and Slack messages before 7 am so people get what they need from me before their work day ends. Once I've addressed all requests, I review budget and forecasting spreadsheets, perform audits, pay vendors and employees, and record all income reconciliations, often with a giant decaf iced coffee. During my lunch break, I like to take a hike with my dog on nearby trails. Before I log off for the day, I follow up on deadlines to keep our financials running smoothly. 💙 What do you love most about working at Worldreader? I love my colleagues and feel extremely fortunate to work with such competent people. I also LOVE the flexibility, allowing me to keep a great balance of work and personal time. 📚 What's the last book you read and how would you rate it on a scale from 1-10? I'm currently reading “The Berry Pickers” by Amanda Peters. It has interesting characters, a unique premise, and is very readable. I rate it an 8 out of 10. 💡Fun Fact I’m a sports fanatic! I grew up skiing avidly around 50 days/year, and riding horses in Utah. One of my favorite experiences was riding an Icelandic pony. Now I play loads of tennis and hike a lot. I'm wildly addicted to college football and travel across the US to use my Clemson season tickets every fall. I also love NCAA March Madness basketball, baseball, and attending Yankees games when visiting my son in New York.

Happy #WorldTeachersDay! 🌎 Today we celebrate all teachers who strive to ignite a love for reading in their young students, helping to lead them on a path where they can reach their potential and explore different worlds through the power of stories. 📖 Educator @Jurema Gorham inspires young readers through Burst Into Books- her nonprofit that works to support children and their families on the South Side of Chicago as they discover the power of reading and storytelling through the focus of representation and cultural diversity in stories. Read more about Jurema’s efforts in tackling the reading crisis in our Black History Month interview from earlier this year here 👇 https://hubs.la/Q02Rw2VZ0
