Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because I wanted to encourage students to seek and explore opportunity in the world and help them become engaged learners and people outside the classroom

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching experience was conducting my first ever fetal pig dissection, the students were all extremely engaged and it was also my first time dissecting so we all learned things along the way!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use the money to spruce up my classroom with new microscopes and figures, and then I would use the rest to put a down payment so I can get my first house!
