I wanted to do something meaningful with my time and resources. I decided that shaping minds would be it.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

While teaching in class, I noticed a student suddenly perk up and his eyes light up. Turns out he just heard me mention a profession he never thought of. He asked me after class if I believed he could actually do that job, I responded he could. Turns out he always wanted to be in the medical field, but was not sure how he could enter the field.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I want to take some of the money and donate it to a school that has underprivileged students. It’s always great to give back to the community
