Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because it is truly my calling. I absolutely love helping others and seeing my students grow.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching experience was the last day of my student teaching. Seeing how much I impacted my students lives in just 4 months was so rewarding

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would be able to pay off just 1/4 of my student loans, and be able to buy things for my future classroom!!
