Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher so I could help be the change I wanted to see! Being able to have a lasting effect on my students, while helping them become the best versions of themselves is beyond rewarding!

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

Watching my young students jump reading levels is the most rewarding! The confidence and joy they get from reading is what brings me the most encouragement to keep going!

What would you do with the $25,000?

The money would be used as seed money to start a micro school that specializes in children with ADHD and Autism. I would also use it to develop an online course for parents struggling to understand neurodivergent issues.
