Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because of my own journey. Growing up with an IEP, school wasn’t always easy, but I never gave up. Those experiences shaped me into someone who understands how important it is to feel seen, heard, and supported. I wanted to be the teacher I needed, the one students feel safe going to. I’ve always loved working with kids, and it feels like my purpose. Building connections and helping them believe in themselves is why I do what I do every single day.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

It’s so hard to choose just one memorable moment, but creating our paper mache globes always stands out. The excitement and laughter as students react to the mess is unforgettable. At first, they’re unsure, but quickly they dive in, working together and encouraging each other. Watching their creativity come to life through each step of the process is incredible. Seeing their pride when they finish reminds me how powerful hands-on learning and teamwork can be.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Winning $25,000 would be life-changing as a teacher and as someone newly engaged. It would ease financial stress and help my fiancée and I start our future together, from saving for our wedding to building a home. As a teacher, it would also allow me to invest more into my classroom and my students. This support would not only impact my life, but the lives of the children I teach every day.
