I love learning and helping others learn. The genuine curiosity and joy of children is infectious and I’m thankful to get to experience it.

Learn MoreI became a teacher to be a part of shaping life-long learners like myself. I love the unpredictable nature of children and getting to know each student individually. Every student teaches you something new and I hope to do the same for them.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceI have too many memorable experiences to name just one most memorable moment. My most memorable year teaching would probably have to be my second year teaching. I had a kindergarten class with a student with autism. He was endearing and challenging. He started me on my path to teaching elementary special education which I have now done for half of my teaching career.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would pay down debt, put some money in savings and probably buy a few extra things for my classroom treasure box and break space.
