Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher to inspire young minds to reach their full potential. Having spent the majority of my career in Early Childhood Education, I promoted the solid foundation of Social and Emotional learning that I brought to Special Education.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

The most memorable experience I have had was when a child with selective mutism at school began to speak to his friends. Building a trusting relationship over several months and working with the family, I was able to help inspire this child.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I work and donate a lot of my free time to local nonprofits. I would like to help others by giving back to the communities that have supported my career and passion.
