TEACHING EXPERIENCE

I taught 8th grade US History in Texas from 2017-2022. This is my first year teaching 12th grade Government & Economics as well as AP Government & Politics, AP Macroeconomics, and AP US History!

MY TEACHING STYLE

I have a passion for making civics & government relevant to students' lives and creating engaging, real-world lessons to show students how to use social studies to make a positive impact on their communities and on their world. I teach at a project-based learning campus so I am learning how to implement PBL and am excited to develop TPT resources for PBL!
