I am a certified Social Studies teacher in the state of Pennsylvania. I taught 6th and 7th grade Social Studies/World History. I have been teaching different subjects for 8 years. I have a bachelor's degree in Social Sciences-Education from Pennsylvania State University. This is where I took multiple researched-based classes and coursework in European History, World History, Cultural Geography, and World Regional Geography. More recently, I have been reading a book series based in Scotland and the history teacher in me can't help but learn more. I have been reading many books on the history and culture of Europe, Ireland, England, Walse, and Scotland, as well as watching documentaries about the topic. Most importantly, I have a passion for teaching social studies and science and I enjoy incorporating reading and math skills into these topics!
