About Me

A passionate and committed educator, I have over seven years of experience working to help students realize their potential. Upon graduation from the University of Pennsylvania, I worked as a tutoring and mentoring program director with Arizonans for Children. After that post, I obtained my graduate degree and worked as a researcher at Teachers College, Columbia University. From there, I moved into the classroom as a teaching fellow with Success Academy Charter Schools, and, most recently, as a New York City Teaching Fellow and tenured New York City high school special education teacher. I hold one master's degree in Counseling Psychology from Teachers College, one in Special Education from Brooklyn College, and a certificate in blended learning and computer science education from Pace University. From these diverse experiences, I have acquired a flexible toolkit of strategies for connecting with students, understanding their needs, and helping them thrive. As a true lifelong learner, I have an infectious curiosity and enthusiasm for learning that I use to inspire and empower students. Outside of my professional life, I enjoy spending time with my wife and family, playing and watching sports (baseball especially), and finding new and interesting reading or podcast material.
