Tell us why you became a teacher

I come from a long line of educators. I wanted to be able to make an impact in a profession that utilizes all of my creative abilities.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching experience was teaching Middle school ELA at Bell Creek Academy Charter school. As the NJHS advisor I was able to encourage, motivate, and mentor young leaders.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use the money to purchase my first home and secure more books for my Hibiscus Free Little Library.
