Tell us why you became a teacher

I enjoy helping students discover new ideas, develop problem solving skills and grow into responsible adults. Additionally, I am happy that I get to help guide and motivate them. Knowing that I contribute to shaping their future is what drives me to continue in the profession.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching experience is seeing students who have struggled along the way march across the stage during graduation.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use the funds to enhance the learning environment for my students. I would purchase classroom resources and take students on field trips to help them explore post secondary options. I would also set aside a portion for professional development opportunities so that I can continue to grow as an educator.
