Connect Tell us why you became a teacher

I am a passionate 1st and 2nd grade teacher at Education Station Preschool, where I dedicate my days to inspiring young minds and creating a love for learning in every child I teach. My journey in education began at Primary Learning Preschool in Parkland, where I served as an Assistant Director. It was there that my passion for childcare truly started and grew into something much bigger. Through working closely with children, supporting families, and leading tours.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

One of my most memorable experiences has been teaching 1st and 2nd grade through hands-on learning. During a science experiment, my students explored how salt affects ice by trying to lift an ice cube using only a piece of string. As they poured salt over the ice in water and patiently waited for it to freeze to the string, I watched their curiosity turn into excitement and accomplishment. Moments like these remind me why I love teaching seeing students engage, problem-solve, and enjoy learning.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would save. And donate some to the school I work at to help get the thing student need and help others around our area
