Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher to help little minds explore our world and grow. I care about each one of my students and I want the very best for each one. “Once my student, always one of my kids.”

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching moment is during our countdown to summer (A-Z). P is for Pirate Day, each student made a map where they thought the treasure was buried. With help we explored our school looking for the treasure until they found where “x” marks the spot. Moments like that make memories that last a lifetime.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would love to pay my house off and have that peace of owning my home.
