Tell us why you became a teacher

I teach because I love children, I love to watch them learn new things about themselves and the world around them. Teaching is my passion, love what I do and do what I love!

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

The most memorable moment in my career is when I connect with former students, and there share an experience they’ve had with me. It brings me joy just to know that I’ve made a difference in their lives and future careers.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would invest into a summer reading camp. I would have loads of books for a lending library and I would work with at risk students getting them to and above grade level standards in reading. That has always been a dream of mine , to host a summer learning institute.
