Learn MoreI became a kindergarten teacher because I believe in the magic of early learning and the powerful impact a caring teacher can have on a child’s life. The kindergarten classroom is where many children experience school for the first time, and I want to be the person who helps make that experience joyful, safe, and inspiring. I enjoy helping young students build confidence, learn how to read and write, and discover that learning can be fun.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceEvery experience is memorable, but I love when students start to feel more comfortable with me. By the end of the year their personalities are a complete 180, I love getting to build those relationships!
What would you do with the $25,000?I would pay some into my student loans, save some for my classroom next year, and take a relaxing well deserved vacation!
