Teaching style
In my three decades as a social studies professional, I embraced a teaching style driven by curiosity, innovation, and adaptability, designing lessons that challenged students and promoted active participation. My goal everyday was not just mastery of content but the development of informed, responsible citizens.
Though recently retired from the classroom, I am excited to continue engaging with the teaching community, offering guidance, sharing insights, and learning with the next generation of teachers

Additional biographical information
I taught social studies to students in grades 7–12, covering United States History, Economics, Participation in Government, Sociology, and AP U.S. History, always aiming to make history engaging and meaningful. Beyond the classroom, I regularly shared ideas at local and state social studies conferences, helping fellow educators explore new ways to integrate technology and inspire student learning.
A lifelong learner, I spent the last three years of my career earning a Master’s Degree in American History from Gettysburg College—by far the most rewarding professional development experience of my career!
