"I am fortunate; I get to do the best job in the world. With a Master's degree in Learning and Instruction, I have worked in education through my entire career, first in university enrollment management and then as a high school social studies teacher. I have worked with thousands of amazing students, supporting them in mastering history, government and psychology concepts, as well as helping them write essays that powerfully convey their knowledge and experience.

I have taught US Government, economics, American history, sociology, psychology, and several other courses, and am passionate about understanding how the past has shaped the present, and helping students recognize their critical role in protecting and preserving democracy.

In addition to teaching course curricula, I work with students on writing skills, standardized test preparation, college essays, and graduate literature reviews and research papers. I have learned that teaching is best when it helps students develop the ability to regulate their own learning and implement meta-cognitive strategies that will serve them in college and beyond." less...
