Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceMy most memorable teaching experience occurred during the 2024-2025 school year when my students achieved remarkable success, securing first place in the Crime Scene Investigations competition in our region and third place in the state of Georgia. Their exceptional performance surpassed the pass rate of 100% for the NOCTI test. To further acknowledge their achievements, my students were honored by Sam's Club, the Mayor & Police of Brookhaven.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would take my students on an all expenses paid educational trip to Europe to explore the historical facts of how forensic science and policing were established and had a profound impact on American society.
