Where are you from?

I am from here in St. Louis. I grew up in South City and have taught in two different schools. I taught one year at Bishop DuBourg High School and three years at Ritenour High School.

What made you work at Windsor High School?

I wanted to be close to home. I live in South County and I also wanted to coach basketball again.

What’s your favorite subject?

I love history and that’s also what I teach. I love the storytelling you get to do when teaching a history class.

What made you want to teach?

My mom was a teacher and I always thought it was a really cool career. I also look back on my high school experience and I am really thankful for the impact my teachers has on me. Their impact made me want to pay it forward to other students.

What’s your goals as a teacher?

Do the best I can to make History a class the students look forward to and enjoy.

How do you feel about coaching (as the freshmen boys basketball coach)?

I am incredibly excited to be coaching again. Coaching was one of the main reasons I got into this profession and is something that I really enjoy.
