Tell us why you became a teacher

I always wanted to work with kids and to make a positive impact on students lives.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable moment is when my kindergarten self contained student got their knee stuck in the playground. I learned then teaching meant working with the whole student. It’s not just about academics, kids have to trust and respect who they learn from.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use the money to enhance the HS life skills room. I teach the life skills program. I would love to add a mock apartment and break room to proved a space to model tasks and appropriate behavior in those spaces.
