Tell us why you became a teacher

I always knew that I would be a teacher in some way. I feel like I contribute the most to society by helping and taking care of others. I aim to be a loving and safe person for the kids I work with to be able to depend on when they are in my care at school.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I don’t know if there’s one specific moment, but for me the memorable part is the relationships I’ve made with my coworkers and the families along the way. Seeing coworkers get married, have kids, etc and getting to see the different milestones of the families, being there for them is the real memorable part. It’s an honor to be a part of the families lives and to be there for my fellow coworkers. The relationships are the best part.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would be so grateful to receive the 25,000 dollars! I have two children of my own, a 4 year old boy Noah and a 14 month old girl Natalie. I would be able to use that money towards savings for their future!
