I am a Pennsylvania certified Social Studies teacher and I taught 6th and 7th grade Social Studies/World History. I also was a preschool teacher where I taught many subjects including history and science. I have been teaching different subjects for 8 years. I have a bachelor's degree in Social Sciences-Education from the Pennsylvania State University. This is where I took multiple researched-based classes and coursework in American History, European History, World History, Cultural Geography, and World Regional Geography.
