Learn MoreI was inspired to become a teacher in high school as I was fortunate to have some really great educators. I am now lucky to call them friends as they have become co workers. My goal is to make a difference in at least one life every single day.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceMy most memorable teaching experience, good or bad, was during Covid. Teaching remotely was a daily challenge, but one that I embraced. Staying connected with my students, albeit through a computer screen, helped all of us to navigate such unprecedented times.
What would you do with the $25,000?If I were to win the $25,000, I would use it to help my young family. I would put a portion into college funds and use the rest to pay off loans.
