About me
I am a veteran educator in history and the social sciences, with several years experience in special education. Before coming to Newport News Public Schools, I taught for two years in our nation's capital as a special education teacher. I am passionate about making historical learning relevant, interesting, and accessible for our students in a world filled with distractions. My aim is to help social studies teachers develop strategies and to explore resources to assist with relevancy and student engagement, so that when students ask, "why are we learning this?," we will be able to help them find the answer.
