Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher to help the kids in my community. We had large staffing gaps that I noticed when my own children were in elementary so I wanted to “be the change” I wanted to see.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

The most memorable teaching experience for me is when my kids move up the hall and still get excited to see me years later.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I’d finally have the opportunity to purchase a home and set my family up for financial stability.
