Experience

I am a high school AP World History and World History teacher and I just love it! This is my 21st year and I find that with every year I grow and discover new things in teaching!

Teaching style

I am all about technology and letting the students be creative. Every year I try different lessons, projects and ways of teaching, forever looking for what makes the kids "get it." When teaching history, which isn't always a favorite subject, it's all about getting their attention and keeping it!
