I love teaching because it allows me to connect with students from diverse backgrounds and help them express themselves in new ways!

Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because I believe that a great education can transform individual lives, families and entire communities. I want to give those same opportunities that I was fortunate to have to my students.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching experience is an ongoing one, which is hearing from former students that I have had over the past 16 years in the classroom. I feel hopeful and encouraged when I hear their stories of success and see photos of them graduating and going out into the world to accomplish great things. I feel humbled that they remember me as part of their journey towards fulfillment and success!

What would you do with the $25,000?

With a gift of this magnitude, I would pay off my remaining student loans taken out to obtain my graduate degrees.
