My love for teaching comes from the students I get to spend the day with. They are courageous, smart, funny, all while being amazing humans

Tell us why you became a teacher

I just have always loved helping children, and this. Let me fulfill that and watch them grow and learn.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I think any moment where you see that aha from the child when they finally get the concept that you’re teaching is a great memorable moment

What would you do with the $25,000?

Our school has been trying to raise money for years for a digital marquee and some new equipment around our school. Being a title one school that fundraising has become very difficult. I would use this money towards those items.
