Tell us why you became a teacher

I’ve always loved working with children and being creative! My mother and aunt were both working in education as I grew up, so seeing them in that field inspired me to become a teacher.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching moment was seeing happy faces of my students as I prepared a “GlowDay” for them! We played games, did assignments, danced, and painted all under glow lights! We also learned the science behind things that glow!

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would put it towards my student loan debt, but also try to use some for my classroom!
