石頭、剪刀、布：三權分立

I am a former high school social studies teacher who taught Human Geography and United States History.  I have transitioned into higher education where I am the Director of Student Financial Literacy.  Though I am not in the traditional classroom, I continue to teach financial literacy to predominately graduate students. With 14 years of classroom experience, I love to develop relationships with students that create engagement with the content and world around us.  Traveling is a hobby that strongly influences my teaching style.  Travel brings out natural curiosity about why and where.  

I have had the opportunity to teach Human Geography, Global Studies, and United States history at the high school level.  Human Geography has given me the chance to score national Advanced Placement Exams which gives me the chance to better prepare students for these national exams.  

My desire as a teacher is to help cultivate a natural curiosity and develop confident lifelong learners that are global citizens through engagement and relevance. 

My Bucket List: Visit all 7 continents and all 50 states.
