After 25 years practicing law, I made a change and am now a recently licensed teacher in the District of Columbia for secondary social studies. I'm hoping to be in my own classroom for the 2026–2027 school year. ​I completed my student teaching in January 2026 and earned a Masters of Arts in Teaching in the University of the District of Columbia's teacher-prep program, concentrating on secondary social studies. My student teaching, and even substitute teaching,, have only made me more eager to get into the classroom.​​
​

My goal is to be a full-time social studies teacher in a public high school or middle school. I'm interested in teaching any social studies class, with a particular interest in U.S. history, government, and economics. In addition, I hope to bring my work experience to bear in working with students in extracurricular activities (e.g., mock trial, Model UN, debate). 
 

This portfolio represents my work and thoughts. Currently, it primarily contains materials created during the teacher-prep program and my student teaching, but that will change over time.
