Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher so that I could share my enthusiasm and love for learning with growing minds every day.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I partnered with the head of MIKA, our local karate school, and he came in bi-weekly to teach a lesson about work ethic, discipline, motivation, resiliency, responsibility, and respect to my class. Students were able to learn a new way to break a board, and through their actions and effort at school earned the priviledge of breaking a board, which they kept as a keepsake.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would take my children on a family vacation, buy more flexible seating for my classroom, and use the rest on my student loans.
