I’ve known I wanted to be a teacher since I was very young. In high school I worked with the special education program and fell in love.

Learn MoreI’ve always loved working with children. I’m school I didn’t always have the nicest, most motivational teachers, so I knew I wanted to be the exact opposite. I wanted to make learning fun and more hands on.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceMy first year teaching I only had 8 students and had no idea what I was doing. I learned a lot that year and got to grow with my students. Recently I received a message from one of my former students thanking me for making school fun and enjoyable and just took the time to tell me how much they appreciate me still to this day and that really melted my heart.
What would you do with the $25,000?Some of it would go towards my wedding and the majority of it would go to my student loans.
