Teaching changes how you see the world, others and even yourself. Seeing my kids do things others said they couldn’t will always be my “why”

Tell us why you became a teacher

In the 3rd grade I was able to pair with the life skills class in my elementary school. After working with all the kids and really becoming their friend, I realized this is the only thing I ever could do. Each day I wake up and I’m able to change a life as best I can.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching experience isn’t a single “thing”. It’s a collection of moments watching parents and families see all their child can do. It’s giving hope when they feel defeated. It’s seeing my students who are classified as “intensive” doing all the things someone before me has said they could not or would never do.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Pay off my student loans and provide a small cushion for all of life’s unknown events!
