Tell us why you became a teacher

I have always wanted to be a teacher. I loved playing school and helping my neighbors and cousins learn to read and write. I knew that when I grew up I wanted to have an impact on children!

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I have so many. This year has been incredible. I typically teach 4K. This year I had the chance to teach 2nd grade. I have 14 former students in my class. It’s been a pleasure to follow these students 3 years later!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would save some money for retirement. I’d pay off some debt and then travel. It’s such a wonderful experience to be able to see the world!
