Tell us why you became a teacher

I was at a point in my corporate job that I would have to change companies to move forward and at the same time hearing from a parents and school officials about the teacher shortage. And I wanted to help.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I have only been doing this for 4 years now but there are SO many great memories. The best one was watching the first class I taught walk across the stage and then hugging me and telling me they wouldn't have gotten there without me. They totally would have but I got to play a part in THEIR story.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Well some of it would have to go to buy my husband a car because he wreck his and we only have mine now. But I really want to start a scholarship program for my students that want to participate in activities or things their family just can't afford.
