Tell us why you became a teacher

Teaching brings an opportunity to inspire curiosity, build confidence, and help students discover their abilities they may not yet see in themselves.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

One of my most memorable moments is seeing a former student out somewhere and they run to hug you and tell you that you are still their favorite teacher, because of the things you taught them and the time you spent with them.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would spend it on my classroom and students and what was left, I would buy my husband a truck.
