I love teaching because of all of the strong relationships that I am able to build with my students. My students give me grace every day.

I became a teacher because I truly love children and want them to succeed! I love to show them what they cannot see in themselves. My mother did this for me and I want to do this for as many children as possible!
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceMy most memorable teaching experience was when I created a Christmas performance with my homeroom class. This was amazing because my students got the opportunity to show their talents to the entire school. We came up with a dance and rap to a cool Christmas remix and the school absolutely loved it! They were recognized in front of the whole school and I’ll never for get that moment!
What would you do with the $25,000?We do not make enough for all that we do,so this would give my husband and I some breathing room on bills! I would also buy a new computer for our home as well as take my 2 year old on a shopping spree!
