Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because I watched my own children struggle with their studies. What better way to help others if you have to go through it yourself. This proved to me a valuable experience.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable moment is when I was teaching sixth grade fractions and one student in particular that has struggled all year, finally looked at me and said I get it. Thank you so much. I get it. That was my best day ever.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would buy additional games for my students, fidgets, treats, and learning games online for my students
