Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I love all the “light bulb” moments. When you see it in their eyes that it clicked! All my favorite moments!

What would you do with the $25,000?

Honestly, I would pay off my car and other debt. I’m a single mom of 3 and I could use it to pay things off and be able to buy us our own home.
