I love teaching because there is no other profession that allows you to build strong relationships with so many people, while guiding them.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceMy most memorable was when I taught Aaron Judge, from NY Yankees. He taught me to encourage others & to never give up. I value the teacher I received from this 10 year old kid. Today, I model that patience & encouragement.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would use a portion to build a science program for my students, as I am my school district's Science Olympiad coach. I want more hands on science to be used in my everyday classroom. Some of it would go toward our summer school program. I would use a portion to help with college loans, to help pay for my masters degree.
