Teaching is less about me, & more about what I have to offer. To whom much is given, much is required. “Here I am Lord, send me!”

Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher to reach those who can’t speak for themselves & be a voice, be an advocate for them. To love, grow, nurture, & nourish our most vulnerable population!

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

It’s so hard to choose just one! But some of my favorite moments have been when students who have been labeled “non-verbal” learn to make eye-contact & come to you specifically to speak in their own way… they say “muah” to mean “love you” & that will forever be memorable.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would give back to the classroom that has built me. I work in a Title 1 school and not only do the classrooms need more help & support with more hands (volunteers), but more resources, hands on materials, & classroom books & flexible seating.
