This is my seventh year here at Licking Heights Middle School and as my students can tell you I am very passionate about American History. I received my B.A. in Journalism from The Ohio State University and earned my teaching credentials from Ashland University. As a journalist, I have had the opportunity to write about local politics and see the inner workings of our public schools. As a teacher I am able to bring into the classroom those real world experiences in the hopes that students will walk away with a better understanding of American History and how to better connect the past to the future.
