Tell us why you became a teacher

A became a teacher to follow in the footsteps of the amazing teachers that I had. I wanted to carry on the work they did while making learning fun, engaging and memorable.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable moment was watching a student finally grasping a concept that he was working on. He has Autism and was working on emotions. He grabbed me by the cheeks and named the emotion that I was showing. He was finally able to see and name emotions.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would a vacation to rest and recharge to be the best I can for my students. I would pay some bills and use some to ensure my students have the supplies that they need to be successful.
