I love seeing kiddos have ah-ha moments, especially when connecting skills learned in class with their funds of knowledge outside the class.

Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because I had a natural draw towards children. Being unseen by many of my teachers I knew when I became one I would never leave any child behind.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

A teacher kicked a student out because he did not have his Chromebook telling him to “figure it out”. The student who was not my student knows me for being supportive and comes to my door asking for a loaner. Other teachers have whole carts. I only had one and I let him borrow it.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Down payment for a house so I can start my family and be a supportive first teacher for my own kids also.
