Education B.A. in U.S. History and M.A. in Education at the University of Minnesota.
On a typical day, you’ll find me teaching social studies to adults seeking their high school diploma. These students inspire me every day. Some of the best conversations I’ve ever been part of were in these Monday through Wednesday afternoon/evening classes!
On Thursdays and Fridays, I switch gears to substitute teach around the district and provide support for early childhood special education, sometimes going from seminars on Wednesday night to sensory boxes on Thursday morning.
Outside work, my wife and I enjoy auntie and uncle time, taking long walks together, painting, gardening, and caring for our cats. Our favorite place is outdoors, and we go there whenever we can!
Social Studies classes offered throughout the day/afternoon and evening (See schedule to more details).
Classes offered both in-person and Independent Study:
