I love teaching because it teaches me to exercise patience and creativity everyday, it’s a challenge and a beautiful one at that.

Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher to model for students and pay it forward. I had fabulous teachers that helped me find my confidence and leadership power.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching experience was taking a select group of seventh graders down river on an experimental education river trip. It was memorable and impactful to watch students come alive and out of their shells in a new environment.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would put some of that money aside for student loans, a down payment on a house, and into resources.
