Learn MoreI became a teacher because I truly never wanted to grow up, so being a teacher allowed me to continue to tap into my creativity and wonder. Additionally, I wanted to make school as fun and as memorable as it was for me growing up!
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceMy most memorable teaching experience was when I had the opportunity to open my school’s first autistic support program! I was happy to be apart of a school that fought for inclusion of students with autism!
What would you do with the $25,000?I would use some of the prize money to go back to school to get my masters to further my education and love for teaching! I would use the rest to donate to families and those in need in my area of Philadelphia! I grew up in a low income city and I witnessed first hand the impact this had on the children in my school. If I could help alleviate that struggle for the people around me, this can lead to their children having a better life and future!
