I love the "Aha" moments that I get to witness when kids start to understand new concepts. They get so excited, and I am so proud to see it.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I truly did not be set out to be a teacher. I met an incredible woman who was the principal at the time, now Superintendent of my sons school, and she asked me to if I was interested in working there. I thought it was a great opportunity to be with my own children, as well as work with other children at the same time. She changed my life and ignited a love of teaching in me.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would put a down payment on a home for my family and I. It would be incredible to have our own place, and not in live in an apartment.
