Those ah-ha moments…when you feel like the students don’t get what you’re teaching and all of a sudden their faces light up, they got it.

Tell us why you became a teacher

I have wanted to become a teacher since I was in kindergarten. My parents worked in education and I just always knew it was my calling. I love helping children learn and grown

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I looped with a class for four years. We were such a good group and they made such great progress through the years. I’m so proud of them. They graduate this year (8th grade) and will leave my building. I’m not crying at all!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would love to have a party for the 8th graders that I had those four years, purchase some things for my classroom and then go on a vacation with my family!!
