Tell us why you became a teacher

I didn’t originally plan to become a teacher. I went to college as a communication major until someone asked me what I planned to do with that degree. I didn’t have an answer. That question led me to education, but looking back, the path had already been set. From leaving an engineering track in high school to joining Ready, Set, Teach, God was quietly preparing me. Teaching isn’t just my career—it’s my calling.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

One of my most memorable teaching experiences happened during our fairy tale unit. We began by taking students to see Disney on Ice, allowing them to experience classic stories come to life. Later, we hosted a Disney-themed Holiday Ball where students dressed formally and families decorated themed tables. Watching my students connect literature to real experiences and feel celebrated in such a magical setting was unforgettable.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If awarded the $25,000, I would invest in creating immersive learning experiences for my students. From hands-on STEM resources to large-scale themed learning events that bring lessons to life, the goal is to deepen engagement and understanding. I would also support family involvement opportunities that strengthen the connection between school and home, ensuring every child feels inspired, supported, and excited to learn.
