Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because my son was diagnosed with autism and I wanted to help other students like him as well as all students to show their potential and give them knowledge to help them grow.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable moment was a non verbal student I had who finally after months and months of working with him he spoke 3 words in the same day. The reward of seeing the moments when they succeed in a goal they worked so hard to reach is an amazing feeling

What would you do with the $25,000?

Put the much needed special education resources into our classrooms that the districts can’t afford that would truly benefit our students
