Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because I wanted to help students see their potential in education and possibilities they have beyond the classroom.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

One of my most memorable experiences was when one of my computer science classes programmed their robots to race down the hallway and incorporate turns. They had so much fun.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would tithe 10% to my church and put 10% into savings. I would pay off some of my debt and then take my family to Disney and the Wizarding World since we’ve never been, especially since my daughter is currently reading Harry Potter.
