I love teaching because I love supporting students to be successful learners. I love making them think, especially in math.

Tell us why you became a teacher

I had a ELA teacher my freshman and senior year of school who helped me come out of my shell. In addition actually made ELA enjoyable for me. He was a great teacher who was loved by every student.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My first year of teaching, I had one boy who was struggling. One day he did really well writing sentences. I told him how proud of him I was. He gave me the biggest smile a 1st grader could.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With the money, I will buy manipulatives to help students with math and ELA. I will also use it to help pay for my honeymoon.
