I love teaching because I have the opportunity to help students reach their goals. I love helping students learn and grow as individuals.

Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because I believe that every student has the ability to learn, even if they learn in a different way than others.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching experience would have to be when I had a student who had not been able to read very well recognize words and read for the very first time on their own. They had a huge smile on their face and were so proud in that moment. It made me so excited to see their pure joy.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would most likely use the money to build up my classroom library and add more technology resources for my student students with learning disabilities
