For most of my life I lived in Northwest Ohio, but coming to Boston has been a great change in my life. I attended a small Jesuit high school that helped to shape my views of serving others and committing my life to addressing issues of social justice in my community. After high school I attended the University of Michigan and attained a degree in Education with concentrations in Mathematics and History.

Upon graduation I started my teaching career back in Ohio at the very school I graduated from. I felt it was important to not only teach my academic content, but to also have the opportunity to help educate students as a whole individual. I fully enjoyed my experience there, but I felt a higher calling to attain my master’s degree from Boston College. My time in school has taught me the importance of becoming a well-rounded individual that continues to learn throughout my lifetime.

On a lighter note, in my spare time I enjoy playing soccer, listening to music, and hiking/camping in the outdoors.
