Tell us why you became a teacher

All of my previous jobs have been around working with children. I wanted to reach a wider range of children and being in the classroom was the way to reach that goal.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

As a Kindergarten teacher, we have a stepping up ceremony at the end of the year before the students are sent off to first grade. The ceremony allows for reflection of growth and reminds me why I chose this career.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would donate a portion to my school and utilize the rest towards supplies and necessities for my classroom.
