Tell us why you became a teacher

From the time I was young I wanted to be a teacher. I am an avid reader and enjoyed learning immensely! I wanted to share that with others!

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I can’t name a single experience. All of my students have been amazing parts of my life! I love hearing from them after our paths have branched! I love to hear success stories, especially when my students struggled with learning. I love their stories and have enjoyed seeing so many become amazing adults!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would take the money and work on creating my Ag Science program at my school. We have worked hard and have so much more to do. Even when we have had a setback, we are still learning and working. New garden beds, more livestock and improving our greenhouse would be in the list!!
