Tell us why you became a teacher

I originally went to school for Environmental Conservation. I decided that the best way to spread awareness was through education. While exploring this path, I found substitute teaching. From there I found my home in the middle school classroom.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would donate funds for our outdoor classroom overnight trip, contribute to my children’s education funds, and invest some money for future endeavors.
