About

My teaching methodology revolves strongly around making real-life connections and incorporating cross-curricular links. My students always know what they were learning, why they were learning it and how it applied to life beyond the classroom. My students feel engaged as the content they study is purposeful and helps them solve problems outside the classroom.
