I have been teaching for 36 years and have enjoyed every minute of it. My greatest pleasure is when a child has that “Aha” moment!

Tell us why you became a teacher

I always wanted to be a teacher. I enjoy working with children and helping them learn. I also feel the importance of children knowing they have a safe place to be everyday.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

When I worked a child for 3 years teaching him to read. When it finally clicked in he became a vivacious learner.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Help my daughter with her student loans and paying down additional debt.
