Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because I have always loved kids since I was 17 years old and I have always wanted to help them achieve big things and goals!

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

One that I’ll never forget is teaching a 5 year old to read, write and overall become more advanced for her age. She later came to visit me years later telling me how much impact I had on her. I’ll never forget that moment. Also I remember connecting with a high schooler when no one else was at my behavioral school I’m at now where she also has reached out years later thanking me for all I’ve done for her and have impacted her! She asked me to draw a flower for her to get a tattoo of.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Pay off student loans and travel with my family
