Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because I love teaching new things to students. I love when students grow in their understanding of concepts and are able to use what they learn in other aspects of their lives.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable experience was when a students younger sibling came to me and said that they couldn’t wait till they could have me as a teacher.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use it to help students in my community with school supplies for school.
