I'm a Rochester native through and through. I graduated from Churchville Chili HS, and attended Roberts Wesleyan College where I studied Adolescent Education in Social Studies. I graduated with a Bachelors and became certified to teach 5-12 Social Studies, but received a job offer up in Alaska so I began teaching there. While in Alaska I taught for 2 years in 2 different locations, Brevig Mission, AK (99785) and Saint Michael (99659). While in Brevig I served as a Middle School generalist and taught combined 6-7th grade in every subject. When I moved to Saint Michael, I served as the 9-12th grade History and Science teacher. However, I missed Rochester and my home, so I resigned after 2 years, and moved back to the area.
My passion for teaching comes from a deep desire to help adolescents achieve their greatest potential. I currently work as an Admissions Counselor at Roberts Wesleyan College to continue fulfilling that desire, but I also want to continue teaching students in an academic way as well. I bring all the knowledge and experience that I have gained over years of observations, student teaching, teaching, and subbing in various classrooms, specifically within the realm of Social Studies. I look forward to working with YOU!
I have planned and instructed lessons for a multitude of History classes, including: American History 1&2, World History 1&2, Government and Politics, Economics, Geography, and Alaska State History. Additionally due to my training, I am also capable of creating and providing lessons in additional areas of interest, including religious studies, sociology, genocide studies, etc.
If you are struggling with your history subjects, or if your curious to learn more about a section of history that you really enjoyed, feel free to sign up for a tutoring lesson with me, and we can work together to establish your learning preferences, times, and needs!
