Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because I remember going through tough times in high school and needing a caring and supportive teacher. I promised to be the teacher I needed in high school.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching experience is when one of my students had a melt down because they feared not graduating a week before graduation. I took that student and immediately found the sources she needed to graduate and she ended up graduating on time.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would donate a portion of my winnings to the Media Arts and Design Academy for better equipment for our students and start a scholarship fund. Ultimately, all of my winnings would go to helping my students.
