I earned my bachelors degree in Social Studies education from The Pennsylvania State University, and earned a Masters degree in Educational Administration from Delaware Valley College. I began working at Northern Burlington in 2006 and enjoy working with our terrific student population.
I have taught many courses in my career including AP American History, Honors American History, College Prep American History, Ancient World History, AP Human Geography, Geography, World Cultures, AP Micro-economics, Economics, World History, Sociology, and Criminology.
In my classroom students can expect a teacher that prioritizes student emotional and physical well being above lesser concerns. All students can and will learn if they feel safe, secure, and comfortable. I try to relate what we learn in Social Studies to the world as it exists today so that they can better understand the world that they live in. I try to create lessons that are active and engaging. I do my best to bring in experts in the field to my class to share their knowledge and experiences with my students.
