Tell us why you became a teacher

I have always wanted to be a teacher since I was in first grade. I loved my first grade teacher and how she had a love for her students. I started in college working at an after school care program , later became the summer camp instructor at the same school while I was finishing my teaching degree in college.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My my most memorable teaching experience was when I taught first grade and looped up to second grade the following year with my same students. It was an amazing two years of learning , growing and making wonderful memories with my students. It was a chance to really get to connect with them and see how far they had grown and learned. I still keep in touch with a lot of those students and their families today.

What would you do with the $25,000?

If I was given the $25,000 dollars I’d probably invest it into my retirement funds and donate some to help for kids weekend bag program in our town. It donates lunch bags with different kinds of perishable foods for our kids who may not have enough at home , so they can have some extra food to make/eat over the weekend.
