Tell us why you became a teacher

I am a teacher today because of those who taught me. I had 2 amazing high school math teachers and now I am one.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable moments are when students who hate math finally get it and thank me for helping.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would pay off the remainder of my student loans as I went to school as a non-traditional student with a family.
