I am a high school social studies educator, researcher, and teacher leader whose work brings together history, political science, geography, civic education, and public policy.
Across my teaching, research, writing, and professional work, I am interested in how social studies can help students understand the world around them, make sense of evidence, engage across differences, and participate thoughtfully in civic life.
High School Social Studies Educator | James Madison Fellow | Army Veteran | National Presenter
Professional learning focused on simulations, project-based learning, and structured dialogue.
Graduate research examining presidential removal authority, the Decision of 1789, and the independence of federal institutions.
An interdisciplinary civic-learning project connecting student identity, local communities, public history, and civic participation.
I currently teach high school social studies while continuing my work in civic education, teacher leadership, and constitutional research. Current projects include research on presidential power and the independence of federal institutions and national presentations on social studies teaching and civic dialogue.
I enjoy connecting with educators, researchers, and organizations working to strengthen social studies and civic education. I welcome conversations about teaching, curriculum, research, writing, professional learning, and collaboration.
