About myself: I am a 2005 graduate of Triton High School and a 2009 graduate of the University of North Carolina Greensboro with a degree in History. I am certified to teach social studies as well as Family and Consumer Sciences. I am also a North Carolina Teaching Fellow. I enjoy making connections between course material and real life situations. I have high expectations of all of my students and expect them to behave in a mature manner.
