Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because I was inspired by my 6th grade teacher, Mrs. Lisa Mabbett. She always knew how to make us laugh, even when discussing hard-to-digest topics in our social studies class. She would also play games with us and put on our favorite, BILL NYE!!!

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I recently finished my long term Substitute Teacher experience at South Seneca, and have since enrolled in the Master's of Science in Education Program through UAlbany. I am looking forward to coaching softball at Bishop Ludden again this year as well!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would pay off my own student debt, along with my own medical bills, and that of my uncle who is struggling with multiple myeloma.
