Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because I love building relationships with kids and wanted to make a positive difference in every one of my students lives. I love seeing that “lightbulb” moment when students finally grasp a concept and their confidence sky-rockets.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I have two that stand out. The first would be my second year of teaching and experiencing a total solar eclipse with my students. We had a picnic lunch outside and watched the sky totally go dark, nocturnal animals come out and street lights turn on in the blink of an eye. The second would be when COVID hit and continuing to teach virtually and maintaining those sacred relationships with my students!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would pay off some debts, set aside some for my three little boys’ college fund, and complete some house projects we have put off due to funds going elsewhere.
