Tell us why you became a teacher

After working at a charity for many years I decided to make a career change. Working with kids has always been my top priority. Making the lives of my students better has been my goal and I hope I’m reaching that goal.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My students have difficulty learning. Witnessing their break throughs, overcoming hurdles no matter how small is memorable. Each time a student moves on to high school is deeply emotional and a loss for me but a gain for them.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Vacation! Just a small one. Give to my school, give to my favorite charity.
