Tell us why you became a teacher

To reach others about the world of science that I came to love and experience as a young student coming into a new education system then wanting to carry on my love with others to have them explore the limitless opportunities and possibilities that are out there.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

Seeing the faces on the middle schoolers when doing experiments, them seeing the results they get and all the sounds they make of excitement when something cool happens and then they come back and say I remember when we learned that. It was so fun and interesting. Thank you

What would you do with the $25,000?

First, always supply my classroom with supplies that the school does not have the ability too. Then pay down some medical bills then save the rest for retirement to spend with helping animals and spending time with my husband.
