Tell us why you became a teacher

Growing up I absolutely loved school. I was the kid upset on Saturday and Sunday wishing school was 7 days! I loved everything about it-and when I realized I could be a teacher and create that feeling for kids I knew (in 4th grade) what I wanted to be.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

Students coming back to visit me, and those “aha” moments. Those are the memorable moments I hold in my heart that keep me going on the tougher days.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Take my husband and daughters on much deserved family vacation, pay off debt, and fund great things for my classroom and my students!
