I absolutely love watching students love learning. It is exciting when students begin to love reading and/or within the first time!

Tell us why you became a teacher

I always have loved kids and helping others learn. I babysat starting at age 12. In high school I taught swimming lessons and I taught religious education to four year-olds. Teaching fulfills my heart!

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

Two former students created a poster in art class with a drawn picture of me and a list of all of the reasons I was their favorite teacher. I cried!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would do some traveling, but more books for my classroom, and invest some money to put towards retirement.
