Tell us why you became a teacher

I became a teacher to change students' lives.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

I remember showing my students how dry ice could sublimate in a plastic container outside not thinking about how a stray cat would also think it interesting. I quickly had to decide either to save the kitty and put myself in harms way or allow my students witness one of the cats 9 lives. The cat was saved.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I would like to start a program for students to come work on their cars in a shared community garage that is fully stocked with tools
