Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher to help students reach their full potential. Not all young people have a person in their corner to encourage, guide, and hold them accountable so that they can find success. I became a teacher to hopefully be that person for as many students as I can!

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable experiences happen well after students leave my middle school. Every year being invited to high school and now college graduations has always been the most memorable. Seeing our collective hard work pay off and to celebrate with the students and their families. Seeing my students’ success is the most memorable thing for me.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would pay off my oldest son’s student loans and give him a head start that his mom and I didn’t have.
