Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher to change my life and make a difference in the community. However, my brother first captured my attention by becoming a Special Education teacher.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

One of my most memorable teaching experiences was founding Elite Productions, the first DJ Club program in a NYC public school. The club provides a platform for students to perform, create, and overcome challenges while developing strong self-advocacy skills despite learning barriers.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would allocate a portion of the prize money to upgrading my school’s studio, purchasing a new wardrobe, and creating clothing (custom swag) for the DJ Club.
