Tell us why you became a teacher

My daughter was on the spectrum and missed in the system. She was bullied at school & teachers never knew what to do. I refuse to allow others kids to be forgotten and their parents going it alone.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I have a caseload of 24, K-3. Every single day. There is one student that gives me a hug, tells me thank you or draws me a picture. Those are ever lasting memories I will hold onto and know I am right where I should be.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would give $2500 to my Lord and Savior for getting me where I am today. Another 10% to Autism of Nevada and some towards my classroom and the rest my student debt .
