Summary
Passionate and knowledgeable educator committed to making connections and enlightening students. As a Social Studies teacher it is my goal that students will have a detailed understanding regarding past and present events of human society and be able to make their own educated opinions about the world in order to become an informed and productive citizen. I believe that the role of an educator is to encourage students to think critically and independently everyday.
