Tell us why you became a teacher

I wanted to help others and be a role model for kids. I love science and wanted to pass on that passion to others

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I was teaching in South Mississippi and noticed one of my sophomores would answer all the questions but fail all of my tests. I realized he couldn't read so I started giving him his tests orally and working with him

What would you do with the $25,000?

Give 10% to my church. Use some to pay a few bills off. Use a couple hundred to buy a classroom set of Smart Cutebots for my physics class
