Education is short lived. Instilling a love of learning not only ensures academic success but lifelong success as well. Regis University, where I received both my Bachelors of Science in Psychology with a minor in German and my Masters in Special Education, promotes values such as cura personalis, taking care of the whole person. I also learned of Magis (seeking more and better) and being men and women in service of others. I love giving back to those around me by teaching. Helping others discover the joy of learning brings me joy. I love tutoring foreign languages such as German but also the younger grades in basic skills such as reading, writing and math. I like to meet students where they are at skill wise and tailor lessons and knowledge to their needs and skills and goals. Outside of teaching and classes I love to watch and play hockey, go hiking in the mountains of colorado and take pictures of my travels! I have traveled quite of bit of Europe especially the rural parts of Germany and Switzerland and I love discovering new cultures or interesting people, cities, and the little hole in the wall shops and restaurants!
