Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher to make a meaningful difference in young learners’ lives. Working at a science-based magnet school allows me to spark curiosity through hands-on exploration and discovery. I love creating a supportive, creative classroom where students feel safe to take risks and try new things. Watching their confidence and love of learning grow each day is what inspires me most.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

One of my most memorable teaching experiences was when my students learned how the Earth rotates around the sun and the moon rotates around the Earth. We created a hands-on paper diorama that moved, helping them visualize these concepts. The students had so much fun building and exploring, and their excitement made the learning come alive in a meaningful way.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use the $25,000 to support my classroom by purchasing materials to supplement a decreasing budget and ensure my students have engaging, hands-on learning opportunities. I would also give back to my family for their constant love and support. As someone living with type 1 diabetes, I would donate a portion to help find a cure and support others on a similar journey.
