Tell us why you became a teacher

Becoming a teacher was always something that I dreamed to be. The impact of the teachers that I had throughout my years of school changed my life. I wanted to follow in their footsteps and leave a memorable impact on my kids life.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching experience was when I had a student come back after they moved on to the next grade and thanked me for helping them grow in areas that they were struggling in. They were able to take those strategies and contribute them to the next grade level.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With the $25,000, I would pay off my college debt and get things that I necessarily need in life.
