I became a teacher because I wanted to inspire kids to follow their dreams - whatever that may be! I’m a professional rock climber, and a teacher. If I can do it, they can too!
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceMy most memorable teaching experience was dissecting squids in my 10th grade biology class. We took the ink sacs from the squid specimens and wrote madlibs with the ink!
What would you do with the $25,000?I would use the money to take my students into the mountains in Colorado. My students can’t afford to go on trips, but I would love to show them a slice of their home state that they haven’t seen before.
