What inspired you to become a teacher, and what do you enjoy most about teaching your subject?

I got into teaching because I want to inspire children to reach their full potential and I want to make a positive difference in their lives. I love teaching and learning about history because I always learn something new; right alongside my students!

What are some of your hobbies or interests outside of the classroom?

I enjoy working out, fishing, tubing, visiting museums, reenacting, watching hockey, and spending time with my family.

What was your favorite subject in school and why?

My favorite subject in school was and still is history. My love of history began by learning stories of my family such as my great grandfather, an immigrant from Russia, who served in the United States Army during World War I. I love learning about their stories of where we have been as it a guide as to where we are going.

Anything else we should know about you?

This is my 21st year in education. I am credentialed in two states: California and Georgia (where I currently reside). I have taught 7 years in the traditional classroom, facilitated 12 years at a PBL Charter School, and this will be my 3rd year as an online instructor. I love learning and I always learn something new; right alongside my students!
