Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because this profession chose me. I went to live in Guatemala and teaching at an American School changed my life.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

Everyday is memorable when students light up to tell you they finished a book and love reading but what I love to see is when they become adults and they are getting their doctor coat or opening up their own business. It is amazing to see your students become great people and professionals.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Buy books and science equipment to help my students learn to explore amd ask questions.
