Tell us why you became a teacher

I wanted to help students find areas they excel in. I love seeing students excited to share what they’re doing, learning, or interested in.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

A student could see how overwhelmed and stressed I had become a couple years ago and she took the time to genuinely express concern and asked if I was okay. I hadn’t been open about feeling stressed but she could tell that I was trying to mask it for them and told me it was ok to take care of myself too.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would love to be able to further my education and explore a doctoral level degree.
