Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because I was inspired by my 3rd grade teacher in elementary school. I want to make a positive impact in children's lives and help every child feel loved and important, despite any obstacles they may face.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching experience is being awarded teacher of the year. Sharing that pure joy and excitement with my students and team was a feeling I will never forget. That alone makes all of the hard days worth it!

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I were to win $25,000 I would use it to further my education, and also put back into my classroom to buy supplies and resources to meet my students needs.
