BIO:  Hi! I’m Kayla Fletcher, and I’m an educator with Virtual Arkansas and I’ve been teaching Social Sciences courses for two years. When I’m not teaching, I love spending time with my family and traveling. My husband, Stephen and I have been married for almost 7 years and we have two children, Elijah (6), and Kennedy (3). Teaching is my passion and I can’t stress how important I believe it is to have a generation that understands financial literacy, my goal is and always will be to contribute to that in our society.

REASON FOR NOMINATION:  We met her at an educator’s conference, and she stood out for her commitment to teaching financial literacy in a state with a teacher shortage. She is energetic, bright and innovative. It’s people like her that make small but significant changes in students’ lives.
