Additional biographical information
While at University of Portland, I was able to participate in a yearlong study abroad program in Austria. This allowed me to travel extensively through Europe and develop a true appreciation of other cultures. I enjoy helping students understand the impact that history has on our lives today, as well as to recognize that each person's ideas can have a huge impact on society as a whole.
