Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher to create a positive learning environment where all students feel valued, supported, and capable of learning. I want my classroom to be a space where students feel encouraged to grow, believe in themselves, and reach their full potential.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I have so many it's hard to pick. The most memorable ones are "thank you" emails from parents for making a difference in their child's academic journey. That is my mission to be part of their team to help their child grow and learn.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With the $25,000, I will help provide teachers with new classroom supplies at my school. I will use what's left to help finish paying for my Master's from the University of La Verne.
