I love that I play many roles in my students lives, I am not just their teacher but sometimes the only support they have in or out of class.

Both my parents are teachers, same with my brother; I wanted to follow in their footsteps. I love that my entire family is teachers.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceMaking up a news program I do called Merritt Morning News, it is unforgettable seeing students experience passion for a project and enjoy something out of curiosity. I still run the program, and we are in the second season! Here is the link to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/@MerrittMorningNews
What would you do with the $25,000?I would, of course, use it to upgrade my classroom and create a news studio for Merritt Morning News. Right now, we use the media center and would love a proper filming studio. I have many MLs in my classroom, so getting books in Korean and Hebrew would be great for my ML students.
