Coming from a family of educators, I’ve always been inspired by the impact teachers can have on their students.

Tell us why you became a teacher

Ever since I was little, I’ve felt drawn to the idea of helping others learn and grow. Teaching gives me the opportunity to share knowledge, ignite curiosity, and make a positive difference in someone’s life. It’s incredibly fulfilling to witness those ‘aha’ moments when students grasp something new, and I feel a deep sense of purpose in being a part of their educational journey.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

My most memorable moment was seeing a student thrive emotionally & academically. From being so nervous to walking into school to walking in so confidently ready to learn.

What would you do with the $25,000?

With $25,000, I would prioritize paying off my student debt. As a teacher, managing debt can be a challenge, and eliminating some of that burden would allow me to focus more on my work and personal growth. It would also give me peace of mind and greater financial stability, allowing me to continue dedicating myself to my students and my teaching career without the stress of financial strain hanging over me.
