I love helping students succeed. I love seeing that light when they talk about something they love. I love the aha moment when they ‘get it’

I always wanted to teach. There was never a question. It was really what would I teach, not if.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceSeeing students succeed beyond the classroom. Watching students become caring adults is amazing. I work with one of my former students. Rob is an excellent math teacher! I’m sure he’s an exceptional father and husband, as well.
What would you do with the $25,000?I work in a private school. I would work with our finance dept to find a way to provide families that need it support for meal plans. I know books and uniforms are important, but if they aren’t eating, they cannot learn.
