Tell us why you became a teacher

My childhood dream job was to be a teacher. I had many teachers along the way that influenced my life and I wanted to be an influence to others. I was privileged to grow up with the opportunity to teach children at church throughout my teenage years. I always had that connection with children and used that to pursue my degree in education.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable experiences always center around seeing children come to have a true joy for learning. I love watching a struggling child make a breakthrough! The smile that they share during those moments are priceless!

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I had $25,000, I would pay off some debt and take my family on a much needed vacation!
