Tell us why you became a teacher

when I was younger in middle school, I lost my best friend. He inspires everyday me to help those that need help when I was his age and for students to know that there’s someone that cares about them.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

On my last day of teaching at my old district, my students threw me a surprise party with a cake and hand written note telling me how much they’ll miss me. It’s something I’ll never forget.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would help pay off my college debt and use it to take a small vacation with my grandmother to a place of her choice. She has done so much for me and I’d love to see her enjoy it.
