What is your favorite part of being an educator?

Every day is different, and I never know what expect with my middle schoolers.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience.

My most memorable experience was when one of my students (who is a teacher now) created a memory book for me- because she said that I was special. She and I sat and looked at all the pages while she narrated everything that made me special to her.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would help my son pay his student loans.
