Tell us why you became a teacher

I tried other things but always found myself volunteering and working in situations where I was teaching middle school age students. So, I decided why not just teach.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

So hard to chose 1 but with my 5th graders I guide them all through science fair projects and one was on invisibility and when we made a test tube disappear in a beaker of oil the student and I were amazed.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Donate it to the SIUC STEM Center to further education in southern Illinois.
