Tell us why you became a teacher

I wanted to be a teacher since 1st grade. I loved school, enjoyed learning new things, experiencing hands on learning and building relationships. I wanted to instill the love of learning and make a lasting impact on youth of today.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

There are so many to choose from. I always love when former students reach out to me, I will never forget when students from my first fifth grade classroom emailed me about what they have accomplished and their plans for taster high school.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Maybe take a trip or do a home improvement project and save the rest for my two son’s college funds.
