Tell us why you became a teacher

I pursued a teaching career mid-life after moving to a small community for my spouse’s work. I was asked to sub at my children’s school and fell in love with teaching! It was the most exhausting job I had ever had, but left me feeling more fulfilled than anything else I had done in my previous business career.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I am in my sixth year of teaching 3rd grade and the best thing is when my former students come back to visit and greet me with a hug. My goal is to create relationships with kids and this kind of greeting tells me this was accomplished!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would pursue my masters degree in education.
