Learn MoreI love the opportunity to teach the world what I’ve learned. Growing up having ADHD was hard because I would have to alter the way I absorbed knowledge, using the different methods help me reach those students who are also having a difficult time.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceI couldn’t name just one memorable teaching experience. The way my students eyes light up when they see me in a lab coat (which is my indicator to my students that a lab is planned for the day) is my memorable moments.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would use the $25,000 to create a joint lab space for myself and my co science teacher. This room would create an amazing space to allow our middle school students to fully understand why science is the best subject!
