Tell us why you became a teacher

I wanted my career to be doing something I loved, which is working with kids and educating our future.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

That’s tough! The bonds created are so memorable. But, a recent unexpected experience was when I created a yearbook club for fun and taught simple photography skills. Well, I just saw a former club student, and he is now the main photographer for the High School! And he was using some of those same strategies I had taught him. 🥳

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would pay off my student loans and invest the rest! Maybe, finally take that trip to Greece that I’ve always wanted to do.
