Tell us why you became a teacher

I started as a youth group teacher then moved to preschoolers, I also substitute all class groups now during this time. Kids are the best no matter the age teaching them skills in class and lessons watching their brains work is amazing.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I have so many, from my very first year in preschool to that class graduated now. To seeing them in the halls of elementary school working even harder than ever on what they have been taught, and just knowing they can run to me for a hug for encouragement or fist bump is so much more than just a thank you.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Open a tutor center, work with troubled youth there who need a place to go after school with my husband. Higher an ABA to do in house therapy! So many of these kids slip through the cracks and are left to figure out life on their own.
