I graduated from National University in San Diego with my MA in history, and have been teaching history at the AP, IB, and college level since 2015. As an AP World History teacher, I helped students to better prepare for the essays, especially the Document Based Question through the analysis of both documents and visual images. I believe that so much of student success on the AP and IB history exams comes down to understanding the question, what's being asked and how it's being asked. Beyond the immediate benefit of AP and IB classes and testing, with the possibility of earning college credit, comes the realization that students can be empowered to explore the world and to understand their places within it.

Beyond teaching, I enjoy personal fitness, reading, and binge-watching Netflix.
