Tell us why you became a teacher

I work in public education. I advocate for it. I'll fight til my last breath to see children of all cultures be successful no matter the situation. Teachers are more than teaching. We are listeners, advocates, nurses, consultants, and sometimes the only ones that can help the less fortunate. We mold the future, in all cases and situations.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

When i had a child tell me, " hey! You taught my dad!" I told him it was mathematically impossible. The next day he brought in a school class picture and pointed at a little red headed kid, as he was, " thats my dad". Case closed!

What would you do with the $25,000?

One-hundred percent buy resources that I can do science experiments with.
