Tell us why you became a teacher

I want to share my passion for agriculture and animal science with the next generation while also empowering them to pursue their passions and giving them the confidence to try new things.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching experience was when I taught a class at an all-boys school in South Africa. I was teaching about the global impact of animals. The students thought it was wild that I had seen a bear in person, meanwhile I was surprised by their causality towards giraffes and zebras as an everyday sighting.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use this money towards a down payment on a home!
