Having taught students with so many interests (I only ever taught one History major) and of such different backgrounds, I find the challenge of making History interesting and relevant to students a rewarding one.

In 2019 I graduated with my Bachelors degree with Elementary Education (k-8). My first job out of college was teaching 7th, 8th and 11th grade math.

I deeply care about guiding future generations to success and passion in both their academic and personal lives.
