What is your favorite part of being an educator?

The love from my students, the way they light up when they realize they have become readers, and that each day is different and exciting through the eyes of a child.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience.

Teaching for DODEA at a low socio-economic US military base in Europe. I taught US military kids during the Iraq war, so for most of the time, one of their parents was away at war. It was an intense time and my kindergartners needed a lot of support and love.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use it to pay off the $25,000 renovation loan I got to save my house when mold destroyed it!
