Tell us why you became a teacher

As someone who always knew she was a bit different from her classmates in school but not quite knowing what it was, I still always loved school. Even though the social aspect was hard. I thank my teachers for always accepting me. I wanted to be a teacher to do the same.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

As someone whose mind races so quickly and every where at once, my ideas shine in my classroom. I have many memorable moments watching my kids take on my challenges and bring my ideas to life. Whether that be my Hospital Classroom Transformation or my Murder in the Garden.

What would you do with the $25,000?

In all honesty I would both invest in myself and my students. There are ideas that I have to build my Forensic Science program and I would love to also share the financial opportunity with my coworkers in our CTE pathway. We can help raise the next generation of crime fighters the right way, the kind way, the just way.
