Tell us why you became a teacher

To care and provide a safe space for kids of all ages to grow and learn about who they are and the world they live in. To equip them with a multitude of tools to solve any problem that may come their way.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

There are many, but what stands out amongst them all is seeing a child laugh and smile. I've taught in four districts and to see a student smile and laugh and just be a kid is the most memorable for me. They may not remember every lesson from their textbooks, but I do hope they remember the joy and freedom that learning can bring.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Help families in my school community rebuild after being directly impacted by the Eaton Canyon Fire.
