I love teaching fifth graders! They’re curious, funny, growing fast, and I get to see learning and confidence click on like a lightbulb!

I had an amazing teacher in first grade who inspired me to go into education too. I enjoyed mentoring younger kids and my curiosity of how we learned sparked.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceI had a student who would tell the class to listen to me, be respectful, and work hard. He was more motivational to the class than anyone else ever was. The kids all respected him and did what he said. This was my best year! I still hope for a role model like him to appear again.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would pay off my student loan debt so I could afford more for my own children.
