Connect Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher to make a difference in my students' lives. I truly try to make a difference. I work in an urban school district where the children need supported and helped in multiple ways. I love working with the children, building connections, and showing them that I care.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching experience was when I introduced the students to Sphero Robots. They were so excited to be able to use them and create codes. The hands-on learning experiences are always the most meaningful.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would create more meaningful educational experiences for my students. I would provide 3D printing opportunities, capabilities to create and design items, such as shirt decals, posters, etc. I want to provide my students with the utmost learning possibilities. I want to use the money to build on my teaching and quality of instruction.
