Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher/Educator because as a youth I found unique qualities in my leaders that inspired me to want to continue the journey of impacting youth as I was impacted for the better. Working with kids has always been a passion of mine and I love watching them grow in the program and become the leaders of tomorrow.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching experience was actually helping one of my current students gain an interest and passion for working with drones. I never really understood them before but if my kids want to learn something new and engaging I will always go out of my way to learn and from that I gained a new skill and he is pursuing this as a future career.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With the money I would work towards impacting more kids that we dont currently reach. I want to make sure that my students have all the necessary resources and have an equal playing field to be able to advance in life. As long as they are learning and having fun I feel accomplished and know I am helping them make there best better!
