Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because I want to bring the potential in every student. Seeing students believe in themselves, have courage to do things that are hard, and having them actually make their goal are moments I cherish!

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I have many memorable experiences but my most memorable are really just the little things. For instance, when a student “gets it”, when a student shows compassion for another student who is struggling with something, and when a student believes in themselves and takes a risk when something gets hard!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would invest in any material supplies I need that would benefit my students!
