Watching kids succeed is exciting especially if they are struggling. I love when they want to get it and do! I love when they love to learn.

I had the best teachers and wanted to give to others like they gave to me.
Tell us about your most memorable teaching experienceI wanted to leave teaching after 10 years as a music teacher, I was burned out. I realized that I loved teaching no matter what the subject. I became certified to teach math and have been a math teacher for 7 years now and absolutely love it.
What would you do with the $25,000?Pay off some debt for sure. I would love to be able to purchase some Evo Entry Kits for my classroom. These are tiny robots that students can code and are super cool!
