About The Teacher

My professional and academic highlights are defined by a broad spectrum of 
accomplishments. From an internship at the House of Commons in London, 
England to a career at PaineWebber prior to becoming a teacher, these 
experiences have allowed me to view the world through a critical, well 
informed lens. 

I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science and a Master of Science 
in Teaching degree in Secondary Social Studies. 

My love of travel continues to grow as I trek around the globe, this summer I 
built a house for a needy family in Mexico!

My passion for sports continues as well, as I am an active member of soccer 
and Gaelic (Irish) football club's in the Bronx.

Mission Statement

"What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our 
lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If 
we remember those times and places--and there are so many--where people have 
behaved magnificently, this gives us energy to act, and at least the 
possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different 
direction." - Howard Zinn
