Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because I have a deep passion for learning and teaching what I learn to my students! Also, having a positive impact with my students as their teacher and basketball coach has brought me so much joy in my career this year season !

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching experience was during my time subbing as a Special Education teacher and being able to adapt to the learning disabilities of each student that I had. I was able to successfully help them improve their grades in each of their classes !

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would be able to donate funds to our basketball team allowing them more access to tournaments, pay for my certification to teach middle school social studies, and help other teachers with their classroom needs as well !
