Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher to inspire kids and to nurture their curiosity. I love helping students discover their strengths and having those "lightbulb" moments. I love my students and I support their growth through patience, encouragement and lots of love.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

One year I had a very difficult student that wanted to do whatever he wanted, when he wanted. He wouldn't listen and was a disturbance in the classroom. With a lot of patience, re-direction and love, the student was able to turn his behavior around and became a great student.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I won the $25,000 I would take my family on a trip where we could make amazing memories. I would bank some of it for any future endeavors and lastly I would donate some of it for a certain cause having to do with children.
