...being an assistant coach at baseball clinics. Outside of school, I love baseball, skiing, and ultimate frisbee, and my favorite hobby is photography.

Which is why, I want to help students understand and enjoy their social science education.

In this, they loose the connections to their everyday lives. I want to bridge those connections, and...
