Tell us why you became a teacher

I have always wanted to be a teacher. I love children and want to help them be successful in their future. I love to tap into their creativity and watch their enthusiasm to learn new things.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

my most memorable teaching experience was identifying a student that reached 5th Grade and could not read. Reaching out to the parents and working hand-in-hand to get him the Learning Support that he needed to be successful. The student is now in seventh grade and is thriving and has grown leaps and bounds from what he was in fifth grade. he enjoyed school and his eager to learn.

What would you do with the $25,000?

The first thing that I would do is help my three children with their college education. And then I would invest in My Classroom and get the things that I would love to guess and the school district does not have it in the budget.
