Objective: As a young history educator, I seek to create a harmonious classroom in which students feel they are in control of their learning experience and can feel personally connected to the material.
Interest Summary: I love to spend time hiking, biking, running, swimming, and traveling, among many other outdoor activities. I was recently given the opportunity to study abroad in Viet Nam and look forward to sharing my first hand experience and artifacts with future students.
