Tell us why you became a teacher

I have a love for learning and a love for helping. And I fell deeply in love with organic chemistry 🧪 ⚛️ I somehow began teaching through online tutoring and discovered that I really enjoyed it. As students challenged me with all of their unique perspectives, I became better at helping the next student and helping myself! Fast forward 8 years... I am teaching AI classes to high schoolers, organic chemistry to aspiring doctors, and designing MS math curriculum for neurodivergent students.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I currently have a student that refused to write on paper at the start of the year. After some positive encouragement he did finally write but I could see his struggle. He struggled to keep his numbers straight and they would often trail which made math very difficult. So, we came up with “special paper” for him to use. I made a table 12x12 blank table that covered a whole page. He used that to keep his numbers straight… fast forward three months and now he says he doesn’t need it at all! ⭐️

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would invest it into my business idea to make educational decks of playing cards for all subjects from Kindergarten-to-Higher Education. I don’t want to reveal too much here 😌 but I have a business plan I’ve been working on for over a year now. And this $25,000 would get me off the ground floor and into production to aid the masses. I want to expand my educational outreach. And I grew up on Bill Nye. It is a dream to teach with him. That’s the true prize in all this! 😌🏆
