I love planting the seeds of success in the students I am gifted to teach. It is the best feeling to see how they grow throughout the years.

Learn MoreI became a teacher because I remembered how my teachers made a positive impact for me. I wanted to give back to the community that made me the person I am today.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceMy most memorable teaching experience is at the end of every school year when I give each of my students a hand written card that details what positive things I see in them as a person. I love running into former students and hear them talk about how much it meant to them.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would like to use funds on school improvement projects that I have struggled to raise money for these past few years. It is my goal to eventually leave the school community better than how I found it.
