My favorite part of teaching is seeing the growth of a student throughout the year. Watching them light up when they get the concepts.

I wanted to make a difference in children’s lives.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I was teaching a child that was new to my class. He had come to the US from Africa. His skills were not on grade level, but I knew that he could do anything he set his mind to. The moment he learned to divide using tally marks was a great moment. The look on his face said it all. He was so incredibly proud.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would put the money in my bank account and use it to help my husband and I better our retirement.
