Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher to make a difference in students lives. I vowed to be to my students what two coaches were to me. I feed those who don't have food. I love on those who don't get love. I've provided shelter for those who were in neec. I teach them math and life lessons while trying to be there in whatever capacity needed. It is my mission to help mold productive citizens.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching experience was being nominated for most influential teacher by one of my students and her parents. I won and was surprised at school with everything I had on my wish list. It was so unexpected and so appreciated.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I am renewing my vows in Egypt in June of 2027. I have students and former students who want to attend and support me. I would use the money to make mine and thier dreams come true.
