About Me: This is my twelfth year teaching here at South. I've always been passionate about history and I love getting to share that with my students. My favorite areas of history are the history of Ireland, WWII history, and women's studies. Outside of school I enjoy spending time with my friends, being outside, traveling, and reading.

About My Teaching: I think education is one of the most important things in creating change in the world. I structure my classes so that students have a fair amount of autonomy and voice and are able to direct a lot of their learning. The focus is on learning and making connections, rather than on busy work or jumping through hoops to get a grade. 

Google Classroom: Specific details for all of my classes are posted on Google Classroom.
