Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because I have an innate drive to help people, am extremely creative, and well organized. All of these attributes help ignite the teacher flame within me!

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I have students that come back to visit each year because we have developed a strong rapport. One of the parents wrote the sweetest email expressing how I was such a positive influence on her daughter. This is my why.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I am currently in the start up process of creating a Wellness Council for our middle school. Through this I have created a hygiene pantry for students that are lacking the basic needs. I would use this money to purchase more items for the students. I would also use some of the money to purchase items for my monthly themed STEAM Labs! They are super fun and VERY engaging :)
