Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher to make a difference in the life of children. In the classroom and on the field coaching.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable experience was teaching a young man with an emotional disorder. When he came to me he had never had a positive school year experience. I was honored to help him make a positive memorable year at school.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Most of the money would go into funding experiences and differentiated furniture in y classroom. Some I would use to pay off part of my student loans, because I don’t qualify for forgiveness with my husband’s income
