Tell us why you became a teacher

I always wanted to work with children. It is important to me, to work to make a difference. Being a teacher allows for me to make this dream become a reality.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching experience was having my students create Bubble Solution and "Smoke Bubbles" with a Humidifier. A hose was attached to the Humidifier that could be dipped in the Bubble Solution. The children loved it. They got to see Water Vapor inside the Bubble.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use some of the money for classroom supplies and some to further my education. I just earned 3 master's degrees and owe student loans, but am also looking into completing my doctorate.
