I teach because tomorrow’s world sits in my class - the next doctor, solider, scientist, nurse, farmer, chef - they all start as a student.

Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because I watched my mom actually love her job. She was a teacher and I knew loving your job was a better reward than anything else.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable experience was actually with a family. After working with a student with global delays and some medical concerns, it was time for her to move onto kindergarten. In a letter I received from her parents at the end of the year I learned that they had only recently been given her diagnosis and stated how the support the received this school year helped them come to terms with their daughters diagnosis. I will always hold her kind words in my heart!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would set aside money for my daughter’s future, in hopes that she can find a career she loves as much as I do.
