Tell us why you became a teacher

My love of school started when I was a kid and never left. Teaching lets me share that love of learning with my students. I became a teacher because I wanted to help children feel seen, supported, and excited about learning.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

Being recognized as Teacher of the Year for 2023–2024 was a proud and unforgettable moment in my teaching journey. The announcement was made over the school loud speaker while two of my students presented me with a beautiful bouquet of flowers. The rest of my class erupted in cheers and rushed to give me hugs and congratulations. Unforgettable!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use $25,000 to invest in my classroom—adding books, flexible seating, and resources that help my students feel excited, supported, and more inspired to learn.
