I love teaching middle school kids. They are funny, willing to learn and excited for the future. Teaching is a calling.

Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher to empower the young people to be the best they can be.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I love when students come back to visit, telling me that I was their favorite. I loved the time we read The Hunger Games and students fell in love with reading. I remember the time I taught about Helen Keller and the students were awe struck that she was real.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would pay off debt, take my family on vacation and buy books and new shelves for my classroom!
