Tell us why you became a teacher

As a student, I was blessed with wonderful teachers and coaches who were wonderful and supportive. I always felt teaching was the best way for me to pay it forward!

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I have taught for over 20 years now and various grades. Currently I am a virtual teacher. This experience has allowed me the opportunity to teach students from across the state of Tennessee. It has been fun getting to know families and students from across the state.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I were to win the $25,000 honestly, I would put it into savings to help pay my son’s college tuition.
