I fell in love with history only when I hit high school - when I was able to see the human side to it, and my teachers made it meaningful for me. Since then, I've been committed to teaching this subject with passion, purpose and a progressive lens. I love working with students in small groups and 1:1--it's easier to have in-depth conversations, practice critical thinking skills, and meet each student where they're at.

Certified to teach history to students in grades 9-12, I bring an interdisciplinary approach to my practice. I seek to focus on the stories within history, not grill students about people, places, or events that aren't situated in context. I help students identify patterns, make connections to the now, and understand the need for studying the past so they can stand in power for a brighter future.
