Tell us why you became a teacher

Working with children has always been natural for me and brought me joy. I became a teacher because the teachers in my youth were there when family wasn't. They made lasting connections that inspired me to do the same.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

Everyday is a new adventure. I really try to make lasting memories with my student always dressing up and coming up with new ways to inspire them to practice reading. Today I was dressed like Billy holiday for black history. Last month I dressed like a giant gingerbread man and raced the kids. Next month the reading challenge winner gets to pie me. One of my favorite lessons was teaching ocean habitats in scuba gear.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Get supplies for my class/ students, pay down some student loans so that I am able to finish my Masters. Put some money into my car to be able to keep me getting to work.
