One day my friend's parents told me how much they appreciated me taking the time to make their son a better student. From that moment on I knew I wanted to teach history. I studied my undergraduate degree at Missouri State University. I got my degree in History and Secondary Education. While there I also worked as a tutor at the library center. Also as part of my education I performed multiple practicum and student teaching experiences in the Springfield Public School District, I taught a mix of middle and high school history classes. After graduation I substitute taught for four years in the St. Louis area. I got the opportunity to teach two long term assignments as a High School US History teacher. While working I also went back to school for my Masters degree. I got my MA in History in 2016 from the University of Missouri-St. Louis. Currently I am in the Dallas area teaching US History at Eastfield College. In my free time I enjoy reading about history, doing any kind of outdoor activity (mainly Ultimate Frisbee), and if time allows it playing computer games.
