Connect Tell us why you became a teacher

After years of being a designer I felt like I was meant to do more for others. I wanted to make a bigger impact on the world around me. Teaching technology allows me to influence the lives of children and teach something I'm really passionate about. It really is a dream job!

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

Last year I taught students about being an entrepreneur. They created lemonade stand businesses. After creating the presentation for school, I had a student take her business to her neighborhood. When your students take what they learn at school and use it in their life you really know you've made a difference.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Being a teacher fills my heart, but it does not always help pay the bills. $25,000 would mean I could pay off debt and take my daughter on a vacation. I would also use some of the money to support my side job as a photographer.
