Summary
Over six years of experience in education (both religious and secular). My time at The Grosse Pointe Academy has demonstrated the ability to teach a wide array of subject matter to a vastly diverse and multi-cultural student body.
My background in English Literature and ancient languages has allowed me to implement ELA instruction from a variety of interdisciplinary approaches in the World Religion and Library classes.
Finally, my role as a pastor has honed skills for empathy, community engagement and team leadership.
