Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher because I love helping little minds grow. In 7th grade I had an elective where I was able to go to a kindergarten class everyday and play with them and read books. At that moment I knew that’s what I wanted to be when I grew up.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable teaching experience is having half my class only know Spanish and helping them learn English and be ready for kindergarten by the end of the year. That was such a rewarding feeling.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would like to pay off my school loan to later be able to build my own education center.
