I have been teaching Middle School students for 13 years. I've taught ELA, World History, Geography, and Civics. I am currently teaching 7th and 8th grade American History and Civics in Chicago. I hold a BA in Secondary Education. I majored in History and minored in English. I am certified for secondary teaching in the state of IL with endorsements in World History, American History, English, ELA and Geography. I have had extensive training on sensitive topics, such as women's rights, slavery and racism through courses with the Field Museum, Facing History and Ourselves, and Street Law.

Some of the topics covered in history deal with controversial and sensitive topics, such as slavery. All class discussions and activities are prepared at age-appropriate levels. No graphic content is shared in class.
