Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher so that I can lead kids into being the best version of theirselves. I am able to give them the extra love and attention they need to become successful in and out of the classroom.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable experiences comes in little moments. When students realize their passion for a subject or craft, when they realize they are capable of great things, and when I am able to connect with them through their life outside of school. When I looks at these moments, they are what makes teaching so worth it.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use the $25,000 to pay off some of my student loans and help pay for my wedding that is in June 2025.
