Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher to help make a difference in the world through lives of students by applying my skills and passion with technology to help my students with leaning all contents!

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching moment was when I witnessed how well my students understood the very complex topic of Native Americans through their own investigation of research!

What would you do with the $25,000?

With $25,000, I would utilize it to put resources for science and social studies content learning back into my grade level’s curriculum. I would utilize it to help with some classroom resources and supplies. I would also use some amount of this money to help with finances for my family due to my husband having a loss of income.
