TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I've been teaching Social Studies since 2005! Currently, I teach 6th grade Ancient World history at a wonderfully diverse art school in downtown Toledo, Ohio! Our school is rated one of the best in the state of Ohio!

MY TEACHING STYLE

The area I specialize in as an educator is art integrations in Ancient World history! Art and History are my passion! I always love projects! Especially those that get students messy or up and moving and out of their seats!
