Tell us why you became a teacher

Being a teacher has been my aspiration since I was a child because I had the desire to help others and encourage them to develop a love for learning.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

The most memorable teaching experience was my first year teaching when a child in the foster care system entered my classroom with various behaviors and over time developed a growth mindset, as well as, a positive attitude.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would take a trip to Italy to reconnect with my heritage. It would also be a priority to invest the money as well.
