Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher to be able to help students. Not only be their as a educator but a person that they could trust. I like to have students feel like our classroom is a safe space.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I had a struggling student finally understand a skill. He told me, how can I not learn this, you never gave up on me!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would love to get more books for my classroom library, games and supplies for my students.
