I became a teacher to help find new ways of teaching science and critical thinking and not just rote memorization. I want to experiment, build things, explore our surroundings with my students so they see science everywhere.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceThe first time I was asked to write a letter of recommendation was for a student who wanted to apply for an internship with NASA and for me that meant the whole world because I felt like I helped this student pursue their curiosity and dream.
What would you do with the $25,000?Either use it to buy equipment for my Esports program or fund my wedding.
