Tell us why you became a teacher

When you are called to do something you have been gifted to do…you better do it! I can’t imagine myself doing anything else. I was a struggling learner as a child. I wanted to be there for those kids that felt they couldn’t do it, and help give them a mindset of…YES I CAN!

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

Becoming teacher of the year in 2016 after four years of teaching. For me…this was the icing on the cake.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Put it towards playground equipment.
