Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher to help other grow and see themselves capable of success, much like teachers and mentors have done for me.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

Working with a group of students during a shark dissection lab and seeing the shock and awe of the process and their discoverys, but to also discuss our thoughts and what we saw and didn't expect.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use $20000 to help me and my future wife to put a down payment on a home and focus on giving back to the community and schools I work at. Providing new resources for students in my community and continuing my goal of helping others see success in themselves.
