Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because I believe in treating everyone equal. Growing up I experienced bullying for no reason and I want to help those that feel different or “don’t fit in”, feel like they belong no matter who they are as individuals.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching moment is getting a kid who was pretty non-verbal and not motivated to speak, to speak and be confident in speaking! My team and I would praise him each time he spoke and that led him to be more confident in his voice and participating across various areas!

What would you do with the $25,000?

With the $25,000, I would pay off my student loans.
