  History Department Chair

  I was named Chairperson of the high school history department at The Leffell School based on career experience and several years of teaching Early American and 20th Century U.S. History. In the classroom, I strive constantly to tap into students' innate curiosity as they discover complex historical topics and recurrent themes. Engagement is cultivated through student-driven learning. The end goal is for scholars to form principled, evidence-based opinions about critical societal issues, resulting in civic participation and lifelong learning. As an administrator, my focus is on bridge building between all stakeholders, students, teachers, parents and administrators, and cultivating a common sense of purpose within the community.
