This is my sixth year at Northeast High School and my eighth year teaching. I am a Clarksville native, proud Tennessean, U.S. citizen, and Permanent Resident of Australia. I hold a B.A. in Political Science from Western Kentucky University, an M.A. in International Studies (International Relations) from the University of Queensland (Australia), and a Master of Arts in Teaching from Austin Peay State University. My international experiences include working for a member of the Canadian Parliament in Ottawa, studying in Europe and Australia, and travel to over forty countries. This year I am teaching AP U.S. Government & Politics, U.S. Government & Civics, and U.S. History. Additionally, I serve as the Director of After School Programs at NEHS. My goal as a teacher of Government and Civics is to help prepare our students become knowledgeable and involved citizens of the U.S. and global community.
