Tell us why you became a teacher

I come from a family of teachers and I never wanted to be one! I was a sub after my first degree in psychology, and I loved it. The rest is history.

Tell us about your most memorable teaching experience

The past 25 years I have taken students to the Holocaust Memorial. So many former students have found me on social media to thank me for the life changing experience.

What would you do with the $25,000?

Honestly, I would give my 5 teacher besties $500 each, I would give each student on my caseload a $50 gift card, and I would travel to Europe to visit the places my two Grandpas were when they fought in WWII.
