As someone who respects the value of teaching to empower students, I strive to inspire and educate students in history and the social sciences. Whether the student wants to go beyond the classroom or is struggling to keep up with the rest of the class, my goal is to facilitate the student's understanding of the principles and have them make connections to their own lives. Ultimately, I bring social studies to the student in an exciting way to spark an interest in social responsibility and civic participation.
