Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher to be a positive role model in my students lives. I learned I love kids and I loved doing crafts, playing games and having fun. I learned I could do all these things as a teacher in some capacity!

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My second year of teaching, I taught 4th grade. Fast forward to this year, my 5th year of teaching, I have gotten SEVERAL emails from my former students who are currently in 7th grade. I recently got to take my new daughter to a basketball game I was invited to.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use that money to pay down debt, invest in my classroom and take a family trip.
