Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher so that I could advocate for the children who I felt were always unseen. The troubled children that actually just need love. The students who just need someone they can trust.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

One of my previous students saw me in the hall and said “I wish you could go with me every step of the way”… from that point forward.. I was at every important event!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I have a baby girl due in September.. I would use the money to help cover hospital costs that insurance won’t pay. The rest would be put towards my house and obviously my classroom!
