I am in my sixteenth year as a social studies teacher at Northwest Catholic High School in West Hartford, CT and have served as department chair for the past 5 years. The courses I teach include AP United States Government, Civics, Honors American Mind, and United States History. I have also worked as a reader for the College Board's AP United States Government and Politics exam for the last five years and have recently been invited to read this June. I am also the moderator of our school's Model United Nations club.

Outside of the classroom I am proud to serve as the President of the Greater Hartford Catholic Education Association, the professional organization representing the interests of Catholic school secondary teachers in the Archdiocese of Hartford. I was also recently elected to the Executive Board of the National Association of Catholic School Teachers for a three year term.

I enjoy travel, reading, and exercise when I am not doing the teacher thing. I truly love my job and feel blessed to be able to do it each and every day.
