Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher after knowing I wanted to be one since I was 8 years old. I had always had the pull/want to be a teacher. I also always knew I wanted to teach math.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable moment is when I had to give the news that WE didn’t meet the state’s minimum to have anyone deemed proficient. Our tears we shared will never leave me.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would love to finish outfitting my classroom with all whiteboard top tables and then put funds into my children’s college funds.
