Tell us why you became a teacher

I became an educator because I specifically wanted to work with students with mental health and behavioral health issues as I’ve felt as a society they are often disregarded as “problems” . I believe they are children with needs we haven’t met yet.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable experience was when a former student, who was attending a fellowship program at Harvard , saw my husband and had him FaceTime me so he could thank me for always encouraging him to not give up and follow his dreams and, he was !

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would use the $25,000 to help my own children reach their post secondary goals as we all know educators struggle for college costs.
