Tell us why you became a teacher

I’ve always had a passion for helping others reach their full potential. As a very young child, I remember teaching my even younger siblings to read!

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My students rocked a mock trial in superior court where they brought the Native Americans’ case against the Europeans fit conquest and slavery! They were so passionate and engaged. It was a powerful and unforgettable experience, watching them dive deep into history and stand up for justice.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use the money to pay off my debt and hopefully put a down payment on a home.
