Tell us why you became a teacher

I wanted to make a real difference in the lives of children and help shape. I’ve always loved learning and I wanted to share that passion with others.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

Sometimes the most memorable moments are filled with joy like shared joke, a spontaneous burst of creativity, a class celebration that brings everyone together. A simple "thank you" note from a student, a parent sharing how you've positively impacted their child, or witnessing an act of kindness between students.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I were fortunate enough to win $25,000, I would be thrilled to contribute a portion of it to my school. I believe in the power of education, and I want to help make our school the best it can be for all students. I would discuss with my principal and teachers to identify the areas of greatest need.
