Throughout my career I have been passionate about teaching the social sciences. I have taught
at Texas A&M University-Commerce, Royse City High School, Trinity Basin Preparatory, and John
H. Guyer High School, which allowed me to experience and enjoy the differing atmospheres of
varied learning environments. My passion for the social sciences runs deep and I believe that I
can bring learners of any age a perspective of history that will make history both fulfilling and
engaging.
