"It has been very humbling to be nominated by my peers. My colleagues make me a better educator every single day, and I admire the perseverance and the care that they have for every student in their classroom. It has been very humbling to me and something that I will hold in my heart until I am done teaching."

"This is my 24th year in teaching. I was hired when Zionsville Middle School opened. I taught sixth grade for two years, then I went to Stonegate when it opened and now to Trailside. This is a building full of great teachers. And so, I just feel really, really honored that they think I'm doing a good job, too."

"This town is so special. I have lived here since 1998. I've taught here since 1991, and there's just no place like it. It is home, and I am honored to be a teacher for Zionsville Community Schools. The attention is a little overwhelming, but it's an incredible honor to be recognized by my peers and the administrators.
