I am a dedicated secondary education specialist focused on making history and civics come alive for high school students. Rather than relying on rote memorization of dates, I design immersive, inquiry-based learning experiences that teach students how to analyze primary sources, construct evidence-based arguments, and understand the complex socio-political forces that shape our modern world. I have a proven track record of guiding students to top scores on Advanced Placement (AP) exams while fostering a genuine love for historical inquiry.
Professional Trajectory:
[2017 – 2020] High School History Teacher at a progressive public school district. Redesigned the 10th-grade curriculum to integrate local archival research and oral history projects, boosting student engagement metrics by 35%.
[2020 – Present] Freelance AP Educator & Curriculum Consultant. Tutoring high-achieving students in AP US History (APUSH) and AP Government. I specialize in demystifying the Document-Based Question (DBQ) and Long Essay Question (LEQ) rubrics.
Pedagogical Arsenal:
- Interactive Tech: ArcGIS for mapping historical migration and trade routes, 3D reconstruction software for exploring ancient architecture, and interactive timeline builders.
- Gamification & Assessment: Kahoot, Quizlet, and custom-built escape room scenarios to review complex legislative processes.
- Frameworks: Bloom's Taxonomy, Historical Thinking Skills (CHRONOS), and Socratic seminar facilitation.
I am seeking a remote or hybrid role with an innovative online academy or educational publisher where I can develop high-impact, scalable history curricula for a global student body.
