Tell us why you became a teacher

I enjoyed being around children and I wanted to share my love of learning to teach them so they can reach their full potential.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

When a student calls out and says I love coming to school and I dont want to go home. They make me happy seeing how they are effectively learning and enjoying being at school.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would love to have a Pinterest classroom. I have some resources and manipulatives that I use in everyday learning and I would love more opportunities for the students to each have enough to have hands on learning.
