When I was a senior in high school my goal was to become a bilingual teacher and make a change in at least one child each day with a hug.

Learn MoreMy heart ❤️ is the reason I became a teacher. I am so thankful for the opportunity to support and inspire our future generations. I always tell my children that if I don’t do a good job they won’t be able to care for me in the future. I wrote in my high school yearbook that my goal was to become a bilingual teacher. I’ve reached my goal!
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceMy most memorable teaching experience was when I worked in a low income community that needed you to be at 110%. I had the same high expectations for my children in this community as I do in my current school. It is a joy to have children come back and visit you when they are seniors. This brings me my greatest joy.
What would you do with the $25,000?What I would do with the money is put it away for my retirement savings. Maybe a portion of it could be used for travel. Once an educator always an educator!
