Welcome!!

Welcome!  I have been teaching at Licking Heights since August of 2013 teaching both World Studies, Honors World Studies, and AP European History.  Before Heights, I taught in Springfield, Dayton, and Columbus. I have taught everything from 5th grade through 12th grade. My passions are teaching about women's history, social history, and art history. I have also worked on several projects through the Ohio History Connection, National Endowment for the Humanities including The Ohio-Oklahoma Exchange Program which developed a national curriculum about American Indian history with the Eastern Shawnee Tribe of Oklahoma.  I currently live in Pataskala with my husband.  I look forward to working with you and your family this school year.
