Let's go!

Welcome to Expeditions in Social Studies!

I am a graduate student working toward an M.Ed. in Secondary Education with a specialization in Social Studies in Washington, D.C.  I am a lover of history, geography, anthropology, and a dabbler in economics.  I have worked in several different types of learning environments including a swimming pool, an art museum, a higher education association, and a community-focused office with the US government.  I realized that what I loved about all of these different jobs was the educational component and decided that I should do what I love full-time!

I am currently doing a teaching internship with an incredible group of high school students and will be working with middle schoolers in a few short months.  My two internships will be very different placements but I am excited for the challenge!

I am a traveler by nature and by lifestyle: I have lived in France, India, and am getting ready to move to Zambia this summer.  My own explorations influence my thinking about social studies and will certainly inspire expeditions I hope to undertake with my students. 

Enough introduction - let's go!
