Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because I love children and I love teaching and guiding them, they are the future! I am passionate about brain development with connection to nature and hands-on experiences. It brings me great joy to see growth in others and it is an honor to be a part of the learning journey of every student I work with or have worked with. I believe that knowledge is power and I love empowering and teaching. It is very rewarding to see students progress and gain new knowledge and skills.

I loved every day and every moment of my teaching experience.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would start an Outdoor Nature School!
