I love my students. It’s all about the kids. I do everything I possibly can to connect and know them and make them comfortable at school.

Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher to help my students be the best people they possibly can be. I want to be there for the next generations and show them that through education their lives can be better.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

This past year I had a project teaching students fiscal responsibility while playing board games I had bought and brought in. It was a fun way of teaching and interacting with the students. Helping them learn and also seeing them have fun was worthwhile.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would pay off my car and help my parents with anything that they would need. And anything left over would be spent on a nice weekend getaway/vacation. Maybe make my way back to Monument Valley, one of my favorite places on earth.
