Tell us why you became a teacher

God place this calling on my life long before I understood it as a child. I played school with my dolls,cared for children. Never realize he was preparing me today I teach the world‘s most important little people from birth to age 4. I believe every child is created with purpose, and it is my mission to nurture their gifts. Early childhood teachers bill the foundation of tomorrow the world needs more in every classroom and I am honored. God chose me.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I’ll never forget watching a three year-old read their first words their eyes filled with joy and my feel with tears. It was a moment I silently thank God it wasn’t just reading. It was confidence hope and possibilities coming alive. I realize I wasn’t just teaching letters. I was helping shape a future moment like that. Remind me that teaching is heart work ,faith work, and life changing work every child deserves someone who believes in them . I strive to be that one every day.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would invest in my classroom and continue to create a place where every child feels inspired deeply loved. Capable of learning anything God had placed inside of them. I will provide resource that speaks curiosity, confidence and open doors to a brighter future. I would also bless my six grandkids. With a meaningful trip, creating memories of love and faith and togetherness the opportunity to strengthen both my students and my family. When we invest in our children we invest in their tomorrow
