Tell us why you became a teacher

I’ve always loved helping people. I dreamed of being able to teach kids skills and access knowledge but feel confident doing so. I loved the challenge of teaching and wanting kids to succeed at anything they put their minds too.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching experience was teaching my students a life skill and them applying the skill. The students have the lightbulb moment of “ooooh! I get it!” It’s the best feeling as a teacher and super rewarding.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would pay off some student loan debts and hopefully take a well deserved vacation/honeymoon.
