Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher so that I can be a consistent figure of support in the lives of the students I teach.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching experience was when I had my 7th grade students perform a mock trial based on the book “Monster” by Walter Dean Myers. The students really were able to dive deep into the project and were able to have fun with it while applying basic law principles.

What would you do with the $25,000?

My wife and I are in the process of starting a new family and becoming first time homebuyers. This $25,000 would allow us to use this as a down payment to create generational wealth for our children.
