Connect Tell us why you became a teacher

I wanted to become a teacher because of my own teacher, Mrs. Hace. She had a way of making every student in her class feel special, and I knew I wanted to do the same with my future students!

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching experience was when I received a letter from a former student. After I moved to a new school in a different city, she found where I worked and wrote about the impact I made on her. It meant the world to me for her to go out of her way to write a letter explaining how impactful I was on her life!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would love to use some money to purchase items for my classroom that would positively impact my students’ learning. I would also love to contribute some to my twin boys’ college savings so they can have the best experience with continuing their education!
