I was born in Philadelphia, PA, but have lived in Northern CA since I was 2 years old. I am married and have one beautiful daughter. As a self-proclaimed history nerd, I have made it my life's passion to teach high school students the reasons why the people of our country and world are amazing. I love the interconnectedness of events in history and discovering how the individual has responded to the choices made by rulers, and how those events had an impact on an average person's life. In addition to loving our history as a people, I enjoy politics and discovering how our government has impacted our lives. I strive to push my students to find their political voice, regardless of the beliefs that surround them. I want my students to be independent thinkers and for them to think outside the box.
Personally, I am a die hard Philadelphia Eagles fan, and will cheer my team on, even if we are losing. I enjoy watching most sports, and love swimming most of all. I enjoy reading (when I have time), watching movies, and TV. But, most importantly, I love spending time with my family and creating those precious memories that last a lifetime. |
