I attended the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth where I received a degree in Political Science. I went on to get a Masters in Criminal Justice from Anna Maria College in Paxton MA and a Masters in Public Administration from Bridgewater State University. I have been teaching in the online environment for the past 14 years, working with a variety of students. I really enjoy teaching and tutoring in American Government and Political science. Since I spend so much of my professional career writing, I enjoy the opportunity to help students improve their own writing. I firmly believe all students can succeed when given the right tools. For fun, I enjoy running sailboat regattas and skiing.
