Tell us why you became a teacher

After years of pursuing a nursing career with no luck in the highly impacted nursing programs, I was so stressed. I started working at a preschool and fell in love with it. I knew that it was meant to be for me to start teaching.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching experience is when one of my non-verbal students said my name. I froze in shock and ran to give him a hug, I was so excited to not only hear him speak but hear him say my name! I may or may not have ugly cried after.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I am still in school to obtain my masters degree and my credential, with lots of student debt. $25,000 would be amazing to help pay off student loans, while also being able to purchase expensive sensory furniture/equipment, learning toys, and fun activities for my students to use.
