As an AP Government and Honors NSL Government teacher, I help my students think more critically about complex concepts, defend their viewpoints with evidence, and practice active listening and respectful discourse. I also introduce real-world political scenarios to help them understand the practical application of these concepts and analyze how government policies and actions impact society today. I challenge students to ask the right questions.

​

I obtained a BA in History and an MA in Curriculum and Instruction from the University of Maryland, College Park. I am currently finishing up an Educational Leadership Certification program through Hood College, have a Certificate of Equity and Excellence in Education from McDaniel University, and have studied how to support Executive Functioning in the Classroom.

 

Previously, I taught EML US History, EML NSL Government, and spent a summer teaching English to non-native speakers in Israel. These experiences taught me how to break down learning material so it is understandable to all students.
