Tell us why you became a teacher

I knew I wanted to help people, make an impact, go to a job and do something different daily. Plus being a science teacher and teaching kids about the world around you?? What’s more fun than that!

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

That’s a tough one. I don’t have one! I have many! Every year when they graduate, fifth grade and the love and cheering seeing students grow students coming back and telling me what an impact I had on them! The laughing, the jokes, the joy!

What would you do with the $25,000?

*pass out/ cry/ scream* But in reality, get all the things for my classroom, pay some debt (boring I know), and then a much needed vacation!
