Tell us why you became a teacher

Our students need adults that they can trust to teach and mentor them preparing them for life outside of school. I became a teacher to do just that.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching moment is watching my students move onto the next year at the end of each school year.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would take a much needed vacation with my family!
