Tell us why you became a teacher

When I started working up and even now I have had so many people telling me “you make a difference in these kids lives everyday just by showing up” and while that is true no one understands why I keep showing up. Each and everyday these kiddos make such a difference in my life and I am forever grateful for them and their parents allowing and trusting me to be with their children.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching moment was the first time one of my students said my name, hearing Miss Christina from a toddler I love so much was such a surreal experience

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use the money to pay off most of my house payment and I would also use the money to get a car to make it easier to get to work every day.
