Bio
I was born, raised, and educated in Chicago and lived in Detroit and Virginia before moving to Huntsville in 2016. I attended undergraduate and graduate school in Chicago and started teaching social studies and English in 2005, and completed my Ph.D in Curriculum and Instruction in 2022.
I live with my spouse and 2 children, and schnauzer-poodle named Archie. In my free time, I enjoy listening to audiobooks, running, playing racquetball, tennis, and board games, and traveling. I've traveled across Europe and Asia alone as well as with family. I love teaching students about why history is important to understand as well as how to better be aware of the world in which they live.
