Welcome to 6th Grade Social Studies, "The Ancient World." After 7 years at Westfield High School, I re-joined the staff and community at Roosevelt Intermediate School (RIS) in the 2020-2021 school year. I think I share a passion for instruction and skills development with my peers at RIS, and I look forward to learning how I can help EVERY student in my classes.

My career background includes having taught intermediate school students in Elizabeth Public Schools, a Jersey City charter school and previously at Roosevelt School. I also spent approximately 15 years in the Financial Services Industry as a securities analyst and portfolio manager; I continue that work on a daily basis through my consulting work in stock and bond analysis.

My goal for students is always to help them climb the ladder of higher-order thinking (and communication) skills, which we will do in a highly interactive and engaging way.
