Tell us why you became a teacher

I stumbled upon teaching by accident! I took a job as a choir teacher at a local school and absolutely loved it! It made me feel fulfilled in a way I had never felt before. Now, 10 years later, I still enjoy what I do.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

Having my students win gold at multiple music events really shows that all the hard work the students and I put into it really pay off!

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I were to win the money, I would be able to pay off debt and save for a well deserved vacation!
