Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher to help students find their purpose and see their potential. My goal is to help students learn to think deeply, grow in confidence, and take ownership.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable experience has been looping with my students. It gave me the opportunity to build deeper relationships, truly understand each child’s individual needs, and encourage them to push themselves academically and personally. I was able to walk with them through mistakes, plant seeds of growth, and provide support that helped shape who they are becoming.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I had $25,000 I would pay off the remainder of my student loans and use the rest to plan a family trip to spend quality time with them.
