Before you can teach your students, they have to trust you and know you love them. I desire nothing more than to be a light to my students!

Tell us why you became a teacher

I had the most amazing teachers growing up. All of my teachers played an important role in my education and dream to become a teacher. I struggled with my grades all throughout school, but because of the heart and dedication of my teachers, I improved my grades. Their unmatched kindness and heart for teaching, grew a passion within me to become an educator.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I have had the greatest opportunity to teach the class that I student taught. I moved with them to 4th grade and on to 5th grade! We have been together for three years! It’s really unheard of for that to happen. It’s been the greatest joy!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I want to refresh my classroom library, provide my students with a current, comfortable, and relaxing environment to learn in, and provide a donation to my school library! Reading is the foundation!!
