Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because I got my masters and also student education and my undergrad in elementary education and I wanted to pursue my career and I also was subbing in a lot of ASD rooms and I ended up teaching ASD and loving it

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching experience is having my students learn and grow each day and one of them learning how to read because it is my first year and I never knew I was gonna be able to do that

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would by classroom supplies for my following years and snacks for my students who don’t get food each day.
