Tell us why you became a teacher

I honestly became a teacher because I struggled with other academic majors I was pursuing. I should've known after years of playing pretend school that being a teacher was my true calling! After changing my major to education, I have had zero regrets!

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching moment would be when my class surprised me with a surprise birthday party! It was one of the few years where we were still in school at the time of my birthday. It was the only surprise party I've had to date!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would likely put this money into a savings account for my children for their future. As a single mom of two, it would help further their success and how they will plug into society in the near future!
