Teaching Philosophy:
My teaching philosophy focuses on historical storytelling and the importance of individual choice. My classes aim to personalize history by examining peoples’ thought processes. By taking students through the mindsets of historical actors, I show how a progression of events is influenced by personal motivations, ideology, and emotions, which allows students to relate to the effects of decisions in their daily lives. The goal is to show history as something far beyond just remembering names and dates.
