I was inspired as young student within ESE department up till 11 th grade and had a lot of Amazing teachers that help me make it through school.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My beginning teacher years I taught Reading. I was never good at it but kept trying. When ever saw my students struggle I found new ways to help them understand. I watched my student start off with low score from tests to make huge gains in reading.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Give back to my classroom, take mini vacation with family and continue my teaching dreams
