Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because I wanted to give back to the community that spent so many hours to make me the person I am today.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

The most memorable thing from my teaching experience is when my tiktok followers paid for my students’ Christmas presents.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With the 25,000 I would buy things for my students to play and learn with outside of school and to use at recess. I would also consider helping buy new clothes for them since I teach in a low income community.
