What I'm looking for

I'm looking to engage students in U.S. and world history, government, civics, and world studies through activities such as Model U.N., debate, mock trial, and other social studies clubs.

At Holy Trinity High School, I organize curriculum and student-centered lessons for U.S. History, U.S. History Honors, U.S. Government and Law, and World History. I connect historical achievements of freedom and justice to the present, analyze primary sources, and led a Mock Congress activity.

I collaborate with department and school leaders on academic and social interventions while supporting ELL and international students’ academic, social, and emotional integration. I earned a 2024–2025 teacher award for “zeal” for my passion and commitment across the subjects I teach.
