I am dual certified in Social Studies 7-12; Students with Disabilities 7-12, and have been in teaching for the past 7 years. I have taught middle school social studies, grades 6-8, and am currently teaching high school ICT classes. The courses that I have co-taught in include Algebra, Geometry, Biology, Earth Science, US History, World History, Economics, and 9th-12th grade ELA. I have tutored students at the college level in Physics, Cell Biology, Organic Chemistry, General Chemistry, Psychology, European History, Medieval History, Calculus, Statistics, Creative Writing, American Literature, and Literacy. Furthermore, I have experience working with local school districts providing home instruction to students who were not able to attend school in person. Students I have worked with have shown evidence of learning through formal and informal assessments, and have been successful in passing courses with high marks. Although the students I work with have been successful, that is no guarantee of success. It is important that all the students I work with understand that if they are dedicated and willing to do the work, the chances for success improve greatly. I look forward to working with you all.

My interests and hobbies include spending time with family, watching baseball and football, fishing, writing music, cooking and barbecuing, and watching movies.
