I love teaching preschoolers, because I love seeing the “ah ha” moments! They make my days brighter!

Tell us why you became a teacher

I started out as a classroom aide, after being a stay at home mom for 15 years. I loved it so much, I went back to school at 35 years old! I’m now a preschool teacher!

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching experience was when my daughter was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, and one of my 3 year olds went to the store with his mom and wanted to pick out a gift for my daughter. He was so excited to show me the gift! It was 2 polished stones that said “Hope” on one and “prayers” on the other

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would get caught up on my bills and pay my debt from my divorce. I would also take a trip!
