  • After both sections, students will be able to assess the role of individuals, places, and environments by demonstrating their relationships to each other. They will be able to detect the role of cause and effect in understanding historical events and examine their effects on the development of our modern government. And, students will demonstrate knowledge of current social problems, global economic interdependence, governmental processes, and the characteristics of culture.
For the past decade, I have been encouraging students through education and personal development to explore the challenges of the past. Through my own personal education and professional development, I create a safe environment for students to learn about challenging topics of history. My undergraduate is in history, focusing on United States and European integration, past cultures, and empire. My first master's degree is in education with a focus on English/Language Arts and History. My second master's degree is in history with a focus on world empires and United States/Europe during the premodern era and modern era. I am currently pursuing my PhD in history focusing on immigration and relations with indigenous peoples and cultures. 
I have taught Ancient Civilizations in World History classes as well as classes on the history of Africa, Asia, and Australia, Ancient and Medieval Europe, and Early American history. I have taken and taught classes on world religions and practices starting with the ancient traditions of prehistoric cultures through modern day transitions of religions such as druidism. I have also taught about episodes of religious hysteria such as the Inquisition and the Salem Witch Trials, classes on the myths and legends that have defined various cultures, world and human geography, and political and government sciences. This extensive background will be utilized to create a well-rounded and thorough explanation of the topic.
