Tell us why you became a teacher

I wanted to be the teacher that I needed in school and make a lasting impression and difference in a student's life. I also want to show kids that no matter their background, they can be successful with a bit of work.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching experience is from a student who I pushed to be all that he could be had his mother reach out to me saying “thank you for believing in me. I will be able to graduate because of you when everyone else told me that I would never make it.” I cried my heart out that day.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Pay off a portion of my student loans and buy books for my students.
