Tell us why you became a teacher

I started playing teacher when I was very young. I always enjoyed sharing my love for math. I got to watch my grandmother be a teacher and I wanted to be just like her! It has truly been a calling for me and one I have loved.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

The best part of being a teacher is developing relationships. I have students that have become Dr’s, NFL players, and teachers just to name a few. I develop confidence in my students and they know I will help them along the way . It’s hard to pick just one but I recently received a message from a former student that thanked me for helping them and how much it meant to them.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I have been wanting to start my own tutoring business from home as I am not ready to stop teaching yet.
