I'm a Princeton-trained historian with over a decade of experience writing curriculum for my school district and refining my lesson materials in my very own high school classroom. Specializing in World History, which I have taught to students with special needs, emerging bilinguals, on-level, AP, and to gifted and talented students, I am also experienced in creating lesson materials and assessments for US history, APUSH, AP European history, AP Psychology, AP Literature and High School ELA, constitutional law, and government.
My resources are geared to foster a student-centered learning and studying environment that ultimately creates independent, active learners. A history nerd who knows that history is fascinating when approached and framed correctly, I love creating inquiry-based lessons for my students to discover the joys of learning about the past with engaging and rigorous materials.
