Tell us why you became a teacher

In 6th grade, helping kindergarteners with their projects sparked my love for teaching. I knew then I wanted to shape young minds as a career.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

When I heard one of my preschoolers ask another, “Was that helpful or hurtful?” I realized I truly am shaping how they think and interact.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would create a community garden, upgrade our playground, stock our resource room, and invest in new classroom essentials like a laminator.
