I'm an attorney and author, passionate about teaching young people the ins-and-outs of law, civics, government, and critical thinking. I have been a licensed attorney for 14 years, and I worked in a public service setting for most of my legal career. In 2022, I wrote, edited, published, and publicized my first book, about US public disability benefits. This opportunity to educate people about how the US government works has helped solidify my desire to also educate young people about US history, the structure of government, the way institutions work, how laws are passed and implemented, and ultimately how this impacts the way in which we treat each other as fellow citizens.

My teaching style involves participation, interaction, theoretical questions, and hypothetical scenarios to help students understand why people throughout history have made certain decisions, and to think critically about why things happen the way they do.

I have a BS in Economics and Political Science from Florida State University and a MS in Comparative Politics from the London School of Economics and Political Science. I also have a law degree from Florida State University, and I am licensed to practice law in Florida and Washington.
