COACHING HISTORY

Attorney turned US history, world history, government, economics teacher/coach

I use TECHNOLOGY, VIDEOS, AND GAMES (such as "Jeopardy," "chain cards," and "4 Pictures and Word") to make learning FUN.

Graduated summa cum laude- Texas Tech University Business School

BBA in Finance; Obtained law degree from Texas Tech University Law School

Although I teach high school government, I also have a passion for math, finance, US history, and economics. I have a son in 11th grade, so I see how many of the topics are introduced in junior high/middle school and lead up to high school level history and government.
